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.Ā 

ā€œStudent housing across the country is rapidly deteriorating,ā€ said John Picerne, founder of Picerne Military Housing and CEO of Corvias Group. ā€œFaced 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.ā€
