A feasibility study exploring expansion opportunities will be conducted for the Lewisville Grand Theater.
Lewisville City Council approved a professional services agreement with Corgan Associates, Inc. to perform the study during a Nov. 21 council meeting. The study will evaluate whether an expansion should add onto the existing facility or be a stand-alone structure, either at the current site or at a different location, according to the agenda item. Corgan was also involved in the architecture and interior of the Coppell Arts Center.
The city’s public art center opened in Old Town Lewisville in 2011. The theater draws an average of more than 35,000 visitors per year and often operates at maximum capacity, according to the agenda item. Some long-time clients have outgrown the facility and moved to other venues, while some potential business has been turned away because it could not be accommodated by the current building’s size and schedule capacity.
Lewisville officials previously made two purchases to acquire adjacent property in preparation for possible expansion.
