Strategic Planning, Visioning and Spatial Planning
2014 - 2018
​
Architectural firm Johnston Mark Lee led a $16m major refurbishment, and in my role at the MCA, I undertook a situational analysis and extensive work sessions with over 200 internal and external stakeholders. This visioning work established a strategic plan, guiding principles, and the roadmap for implementation. It identified some core challenges within the institution as well as within the civic and educational sphere.
​
