THE GALLOWAY SCHOOL Fine Arts Center Atlanta, Georgia Collins Project Management was engaged to provide total program management services from concept through completion and occupancy.  The project scope consisted of a 40,000 sf, 300-seat Theater, Classroom Addition, covered parking, and playground. The Fine Arts Center had to be carefully planned and staged to minimize impact on ongoing school operations.  Communication with adjacent neighborhoods was critical to success because of the sensitivities of the surrounding community to construction traffic, noise and dust. The project team had to navigate a difficult project approval and permitting process, and then maintain an aggressive construction schedule in order to complete the project and make it available for the 2003-2004 school year.
