Housed for more than a decade in a historic movie theater, the New World Symphony saw the need for a larger and more flexible space for its educational, performance, rehearsal, and administrative activities. This case examines the plans for the new building, in particular the operating cost projections for using the facility once completed. The economic recession of 2008-09 presents the administration and board of trustees with difficult decisions about how to see the project to its completion.

With two campuses located south of Boston, Massachusetts, the conservatory serves over 4,000 students annually and is supported by a budget of nearly $5 million. One of South Shore Conservatory’s key access programs, ImagineARTS, is an early intervention, literacy-based arts program, has grown exponentially since its launch in 2012, but now faces the question of how to wield its unstable budget toward sustaining and funding future growth. After reviewing a short history of the organization and an overview of the ImagineARTS program, readers will evaluate two funding scenarios that are being considered by the SSC leadership team to ensure the long-term prosperity and future growth of the program.
