Big news! B&D recently launched a Resource Center to collect and disseminate knowledge about the dynamic public-private partnership (“P3”) market within the higher ed sector, and to share its Higher Education P3 “State of the Industry” research report.

The Higher Ed P3 Resource Center is the go-to place for industry professionals—including college and university administrations, developers, and other stakeholders—and features articles, original research, interviews, infographics, videos, and more. If you’re a professional in the industry who would like to contribute an article/etc., reach out to Doug Kotlove, Vice President for Business Development and Marketing. You’ll be in great company; we’ve already had, for example, discussions about the implications of the tax reform bill (including what might still be at risk), real-life P3 experience, industry trends, and financing insights.

The “State of the Industry” report begins to answer two of the industry’s most pressing questions: How big is the higher ed P3 market, and is it getting bigger? To answer these questions, B&D interviewed developers across the country about their recent housing projects—something it will do annually.

For those who know B&D well, the new resource site and research should come as no surprise. If you’re just learning about us, though, here’s some helpful background: Through B&D’s P3 and development advisory practice, the firm has advised on more than $3.5B in budgeted or developed projects, and 13M square feet of programming for developments. B&D was also recently named a finalist for P3 Bulletin’s Technical Advisor of the Year award.
