City of Sandy Springs Selects Firm to Provide Programming and
Management Services for City Center Public Gathering Facilities
|
Sandy Springs, GA – May 2015 / Newsmaker Alert / The City of Sandy Springs announced it has selected Global Spectrum, an international venue management firm, to oversee operations for the Public Gathering Facilities within City Center, including the performing arts center, family theater, meeting space and park.

“We are creating a sense of place in our downtown area, and the experience, our ability to maintain activity there at varying times of the day, is a critical factor in the project’s success.  Global Spectrum has not only the experience to manage facilities like the PAC, they also have a strong record of generating successful, creative programming,” said Sandy Springs Mayor Rusty Paul.

Global Spectrum was one of three firms considered, which included SMG and VenuWorks. Criteria included each firm’s approach to pre-opening services, programming and management and marketing of the Public Gathering Facilities.

The recommendation in support of Global Spectrum cited several factors in support:

  • The firm’s extensive client portfolio of projects similar in scope
  • Global Spectrum thoroughly researched the City Center development, which was evident in its interview
  • The firm has a local market presence, with numerous venues in the Southeast United States
  • Global Spectrum presented a viable approach to collaboration with other consultants on the City Center development
During its May 19, 2015 meeting, the Sandy Springs City Council authorized the City Manager to proceed with negotiations with Global Spectrum for a contract to provide programming and management services for the Public Gathering Facilities at City Center.
