A Long-Term Approach to Institutional Investment

As Touro University expanded its academic programs, campuses, and specialized learning environments, equipment needs and projects continued to emerge across multiple schools and locations. From healthcare simulation labs and classroom technology to new academic facilities, the university required a financing approach that could support a wide range of projects while maintaining consistency across the organization.

Managing acquisitions across a growing university system can be complex, particularly when needs arise at different times and serve different purposes. Touro University sought a streamlined, scalable approach that would allow stakeholders across the institution to efficiently evaluate and acquire equipment.

To create a more consistent and efficient approach to financing, Touro University established a Master Lease Agreement with First American that provides standardized terms and conditions across the institution. Rather than negotiating a new financing structure for each acquisition, the university can leverage an existing framework designed to support multiple campuses, departments, and project types.

That framework is supported by a dedicated First American representative whose familiarity with Touro University's priorities, processes, and objectives has helped streamline decision making and adapt to the university's evolving needs.

Together, the Master Lease Agreement and established working relationship enable Touro to evaluate opportunities more efficiently, support equipment acquisitions across the organization, and maintain a consistent approach as the university continues to grow.
