Modernizing Campuses
Problem: Aging infrastructure combined with lack of funding
More than 60% of higher ed campuses have facilities that are more than 25 years old. Many have a maintenance back log valued at $100 per gross square foot. In addition, they must convince students to come to the university and live on campus — despite outdated facilities and housing and no funds to repair them.
Solution: Unlock funding that gets continually reinvested for future improvements
The Corvias approach plans for short- and- long-term growth needs without issuing new school debt. Our financial approach can deliver solutions such as non-recourse debt with off balance sheet treatment and likely positive credit impact.
For example, Corvias and Wayne State University partnered in 2017. The goal: to deliver a solution to defease $102 million of Wayne State's debt and address a $38 million deferred maintenance issue.
Corvias was able to deliver $151 million in residential construction for the University through an off-balance sheet transaction. This, in turn, allowed Wayne State to leverage capital for other critical needs.

Creating Value for Our Higher Ed Partners
As a full-service student housing provider, we challenge ourselves to add value to each partnership. A large part of our added value is the money we reinvest in our partners to use for future renovations to existing student housing and facilities.
Other benefits to our approach include:
- Innovative funding sources — tailored to each project — to address needs and additional programs
- Close management of revenue and expenses
- Control remains in your hands for key decisions about students and your physical assets through our joint governance approach, while you offload operations management
- Enhanced marketability of the asset for the future
- Subcontracting to small and minority-owned businesses for greater community investment
