Company that manages AU dorms files for Chapter 11

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) – The company that manages Augusta University’s dorms is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

“Corvias Campus Living – USG” runs student housing at AU and several other state schools in Georgia.

It says it has worked for years to make its partnership viable with the University System of Georgia.

But now the company says it needs to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy to restructure the deal.

The company made headlines in 2023 when a pipe break delayed students from moving into Oak Hall and a year earlier when mold was found in Oak Hall and neighboring Elm Hall.

Despite those snags, it says students rely on the company “to deliver an exceptional student housing experience.”

It said in a statement that it “remains committed to delivering an award-winning housing experience for students throughout the process.”

Corvias also handles some military housing, although not at Fort Gordon. In Georgia, it has contracts at nine of the state’s higher education institutions.

The company claims the student housing program is not sustainable because things have changed a lot since it won the contracts.

It blames a number of factors, including COVID, higher costs, and lower revenue and student occupancy than expected.

It claims it has “gone above and beyond its contractual requirements – even forgoing its management fee for all but two months over the past five years.”

While the process moves forward, the company says it plans to “provide the same high-quality operations and maintenance services” and meet its obligations to employees, vendors and others by utilizing cash on hand, subject to approval as part of the process.

From Augusta roots to Nighthawks leader: Nolan Belcher comes home

AUGUSTA, Ga. (WJBF)- Augusta University baseball is in a three-game series matchup against the University of North Georgia.

AU is currently down in the series 0-2 after a close loss Friday and a loss Saturday.

But we aren’t focusing on the Jags, we’re going to take a look at North Georgia’s head coach, Nolan Belcher.

He is an Augusta native who began his career at Greenbrier and Augusta Christian.

He won three state championships, which then led him to play for the South Carolina Gamecocks.

There he won back-to-back national championships and finished runner up in 2012.

His coaching career began after that where he eventually joined the Peach belt Confrence, coaching at USCA and GCSU.

Now in his first season as head coach for the Nighthawks, he is happy to come home and coach in front of his friends and family.

“I’m very fortunate that I got family that, one is still around and they can come watch me do what I love. And, they’ve shown me, nothing but support throughout my whole coaching career and even back on my playing dates are very thankful and appreciative for everything they’ve done for me.”

AU and UNG will have their final series match on Sunday.
