Campus Innovations Group LLC (CIG) was started under the premise that a team comprised of professionals who have significant experience working within higher education and the public and private sector could best create alternative operational and financing methodologies relevant to higher education.  CIG’s mission is to provide schools with a strategic thought partner and capital provider that works in a team environment with colleges and universities to identify and assess a wide range of options and opportunities. We bring a fresh perspective to the several challenges currently impacting the industry. We draw upon our team members’ many years of experience in other fields who have analyzed, addressed and solved issues similar to what higher education is facing today. We don’t come with a single product to sell.  We can examine traditional bond financing options and compare them to a variety of strategic opportunities for providing capital, new revenue streams and cost savings.  Our firm experience consists of the individual experiences of our members and advisers. As educational institutions endeavor to remain relevant and highly competitive, many face challenges as they strive to update infrastructure and facilities, attract and retain top talent, and maintain reasonable tuition rates. To address these and other challenges, CIG assists schools to effectively unlock the embedded value tied up in non-core campus assets through operational efficiencies and deployment of capital combined with the assessment of facility management and development needs. Capital is provided by monetizing non-core facility infrastructure and real estate assets such as student housing, conference centers, hospitality, and innovation centers, as well as repurposing existing facilities, and looking at new campus edge development opportunities. Through innovative transaction structures, CIG provides both near-term liquidity and long-term sustainable sources of income to schools.
