Those who are not familiar with P3, such projects are long-term contracts that allow the public and private sector to participate in the design, construction, financing, operation, and maintenance of a project, now widely used in the academic sector, including student housing, across New England.

Attendees will learn the following:
- Growth areas.
- Where are the P3 opportunities in New England?
- What universities and colleges need for facilities?
- Financing of P3 projects
- Design and construction challenges, among others.
- Why is P3 a win-win for both private developers and colleges and universities?
