A FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR A PERFORMING ARTS CENTRE in the City of Barrie, ON Janis Barlow was retained by the City of Barrie to analyze community user needs and the rehabilitation of two theatres: the W.A. Fisher Auditorium (1,000 seats) in Barrie Central Collegiate High School, and the Georgian College Theatre (427-697 seats) in Georgian College. The purpose of the study was to determine whether one of the facilities would best suit the future needs of the arts community in Barrie, or whether the City should spearhead the development of a new performing arts facility. The study concluded that a multiple venue performing arts center would provide the best economies of scale and critical massing, and would provide Barrie with the optimum scenario for their performing arts activity. It was recommended that the facility should include an incubator space with 399-600 seats, a presenting space (with 1,200-1,500 seats), rehearsal space and support facilities.
