"They’re the whole package. It’s kind of unusual, in fact. It’s a publicly traded company with fiduciary duty to shareholders that somehow is able to work with us, a university, in the way that we need to work to accomplish our objectives."
"I think we have achieved what we want based on the partnership, not just based on the product. A lot of people can create a product for you. They can bring it in on price, they can bring it in on time, but the partnership is the real key because that’s what survives afterwards."
"ACC has developed a relationship with us that I don’t think anyone could have foreseen in terms of its scale and its impact and its strategic importance to us."
"This is a project that is opening our community and our university to innovation, to education, and to jobs. And that is why we are very happy and why we are excited. The building is not the destination, the people are the destination, and the people in our community are going to benefit tremendously from this."

Whatever your vision, engaging with ACC can help you get there faster by giving you the financial freedom you need to dedicate your resources to what matters most: student education, research and facilities – while delivering lower operating costs, lower rents to residents, and all without the use of taxpayer funds.
