Corvias Supports Academic Success Across 14 Campuses
WARWICK, R.I.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Corvias, a full-service housing provider that oversees student housing operations across 43 buildings, 16,000 beds, and 14 institutions, works diligently each year to move in thousands of students and create a positive living experience. As a company that understands how on-campus housing can impact student outcomes, Corvias works closely with each school’s residence life staff and other campus leaders to create communities students are proud to call their home away from home.
“Living on campus provides many academic, social, and personal benefits, such as a sense of community, affordability, convenience, higher opportunities for engagement and development as well as an increased likelihood for retention and graduation,” said Thelma Edgell, president, higher education, for Corvias.
Preparing for incoming students at fall move-in is an intensive three-month process, known as “turn season,” which kicks off as soon as students move out in May. The process often includes moving cohorts of students out from the previous semester in a matter of hours, repairing and cleaning units, performing seasonal preventative maintenance, and quickly getting units ready for summer camps and conferences, and then the upcoming school year for fall move-in. Throughout this short period, the same units are often turned as many as six or more times, depending on the demand.
“A successful turn season can often set the tone for a students’ academic journey and overall campus experience, so we offer a variety of services to support partner and resident needs,” said Edgell.
In addition to providing modernized accommodations, Corvias manages essential services from maintenance, landscaping, and housekeeping for its partners and even offers additional services such as leasing, energy, and waitlist management. Corvias manages student housing facilities nationwide, including at the following campuses: Purdue University, University of Notre Dame, North Carolina Central University, Wayne State University, Alabama College of Osteopathic Medicine, Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, Augusta University, College of Coastal Georgia, Columbus State University, Dalton State College, East Georgia State College, Georgia Southern University – Armstrong, Georgia State University, and University of North Georgia.
As a multi-award-winning housing provider, Corvias ensures a seamless student living experience through standardized procedures, staff training, and continuous feedback. By collecting resident input during move-in and after maintenance requests, the team identifies strengths and areas for improvement. Operational efficiencies—like integrated property management systems, digital turn boards, iPads for workflow, and proactive communication—enable Corvias to adapt quickly to the evolving needs of higher education. Additionally, through its unique Solutions Through Partnerships® approach, Corvias continuously works to support partner needs and meet students where they are—especially in the face of challenges like market shifts, occupancy changes, and academic attrition.
“It’s an exciting time for our students, their parents, and our partners so we work behind the scenes and around the clock to make the process as seamless, streamlined, and fun as possible, from incorporating needed protocols and launching an entire volunteer effort to hosting events and encouraging students to make their spaces their own,” said Edgell. “At Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, for example, students across many of our buildings creatively expressed themselves through their dorm room designs, many of which went viral on TikTok.”
