Modernizing a Mission-Driven University

As a mission-driven institution, Regis University wanted to take a more proactive approach in updating their physical and digital infrastructure throughout campus. However, their existing process for evaluating capital projects was decentralized—offering little flexibility and preventing them from achieving their long-term financial goals.

Instead, Regis sought a solution that better aligned with their cash flow needs and would allow them to accelerate their critical projects. Additionally, they wanted funding that could extend beyond individual capital projects. They began looking for a long-term strategic financing relationship with a provider who could truly understand their mission and develop solutions tailored to their needs.

After learning about the university’s unique goals and objectives, First American put together a lease line program to address their cash flow needs and provide more resources on a consistent and predictable basis. This strategy allowed Regis to deploy capital more efficiently over several departments at once, replacing the outdated and inefficient process they previously had in place.
