Who We Are

Focus: concentrating all your attention and energy on a single objective. It empowers you to clearly define values and provides insight on how to allocate time and resources. It influences every daily decision – from small to large.

At Capstone On-Campus Management, we are a group of housing professionals clearly focused on providing management and consulting services for student housing owned by non-profits:  colleges, universities, and non-profit foundations.  With corporate headquarters in Birmingham, Alabama, we serve campuses from Washington State to Massachusetts.

As a result of our focus, we have become the leading provider of third-party management services to non-profit owners, currently managing 23,080 beds, serving 23 campuses nationwide (reflecting $1.6 billion in assets).  The majority of these communities are located directly on a college or university campus.  We approach each management partnership with innovativeness and flexibility – there is no “one size fits all.”  An important outcome of this approach is an arrangement known in the industry as “Shared Governance,” which leverages the strengths of our campus partner and Capstone On-Campus.

We believe a well-planned on-campus housing program can positively affect recruitment, retention, and overall student satisfaction, and we are committed to helping institutions re-position their on-campus housing programs to do so.  This commitment moved us to offer a service known as “Fresh Eyes Consulting.”  Fresh Eyes is an efficient (completed in three consecutive days on a campus) and affordable service to help institutions appropriately size a housing program, focus on the right target market(s), as well as strengthen the various student services vital to the success of a housing program.
