Picerne Military Housing announced its expansion into the student housing market with the launch of a new parent company, Corvias Group, and a new student housing division, Corvias Campus Living. 

“Student housing across the country is rapidly deteriorating,” said John Picerne, founder of Picerne Military Housing and CEO of Corvias Group. “Faced with dwindling endowments and rising infrastructure costs, many schools have simply not been able to keep up with deferred maintenance, let alone pursue modernization. We believe we have a truly innovative housing solution that will allow schools to substantially improve living and learning environments for their students and will allow them to focus on their core mission of education.”

Since its founding, the company has partnered with the military to build, renovate and manage nearly 21,000 homes with more than 65,000 bedrooms, situated on more than 10,000 acres of land nationwide. +

Bridging the gap: How early architect involvement can revolutionize a city’s capital improvement plans

Capital Improvement Plans (CIPs) typically span three to five years and outline future city projects and their costs. While they set the stage, the design and construction of these projects often extend beyond the CIP window, leading to a disconnect between the initial budget and evolving project scope. This can result in financial shortfalls, forcing cities to cut back on critical project features.
