Public University Use of Social Infrastructure Public–Private Partnerships (P3s): An Exploratory Examination

Abstract

Using data from the 50 states, this exploratory study looks at public university use of public–private partnerships (P3s) for a particular type of social infrastructure, student housing. The relation between state social infrastructure P3s enabling legislation and public university P3 student housing project closures is analyzed. A deep dive is conducted into the legislative requirements of four states (California, Florida, Georgia, and Virginia) that have specific enabling legislation governing public university use of P3s for social infrastructure. The study finds that public universities have a 20-year history of utilizing social infrastructure P3s for student housing. A relationship is found between state social infrastructure P3 enabling legislation and increased public university use of P3s for student housing. The study also finds that states with specific public university P3 social infrastructure enabling legislation place decidedly different requirements on their use.

The Relationship between the Facial Expression of People in University Campus and Host-City Variables

Public facilities covered aspects of communication, transportation, health care, education, and regional culture, which were all related to university students [29][30][31]. Parameters of habitation included the aspects that reflected the socializing and life utilities, which were found to be closely related to perceived satisfaction at campus [2,14].…”

Challenges and enabling features of small and medium infrastructure public–private partnerships (P3s): a case study of the US P3 infrastructure market

“…According to Tan (2008), early in 1960s, to respond the large-scale urban renewal and acute housing shortage, public universities in the US started to use P3 to meet their funding requirements. The value of investment in public university social infrastructure spiked dramatically since 2008 and there is at least $16.4B investment from 2006 to 2016 (Levey et al, 2020). Decades of practice accumulates experience for both the owners and the contractors with respect to project evaluation, contract negotiation, and project financing.…”
