The Vision that Redefined Student Housing
As a student and resident assistant at West Virginia University in the 1980s, Maslow’s founder and CEO Bill Bayless forged a vision for modernizing student housing and applying Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs to help students reach their full potential. Over his +35 year career, most notably as the co-founder and CEO of American Campus Communities (ACC), Bayless led the transformation of the industry. He is widely credited with mainstreaming student housing as an institutional investment; introducing innovative public-private partnerships and financing programs; and revolutionizing the programming, design and operations of student communities to enhance affordability and support academic success, personal growth and overall well-being. Maslow’s Campus Communities continues this legacy, led by a proven executive team that has collaborated for more than 20 years and backed by its financial partner, Pennybacker Capital, that shares the company's vision and values.
