Setting New Precedents
At Louisiana State University, Patrick Martin created unique public-private partnerships designed to push innovative projects forward.
As assistant vice president for real estate, public partnerships, and compliance at Louisiana State University, Martin managed real estate contracts and oversaw development projects with budgets topping $200 million.
“I create precedents of things that have not really been done before in the university setting.”

In Their Words
“Patrick, with his unique blend of legal, business, and university administrative experience, was exceptionally helpful in identifying, communicating, and building consensus for reasonable solutions to complex problems that at times felt intractable.”
— David Horner, Partner, Hunton Andrews Kurth
“Patrick is one of the very best I have worked with. In spite of the business realities of our industry, Patrick displayed honesty and integrity as well as a deep understanding of where he could push and where the economic realities made an aggressive push unrealistic.”
— Doug Castleberry, Retired President and Chief Operating Officer, CenTrio (formerly Enwave)
“It is not an exaggeration to say that Patrick’s leadership has shifted the market conditions for higher education P3 energy transactions.”
— Ed Tinsley, Chief Executive Officer, Bernhard
“Our project was completed ahead of schedule and under budget, which wouldn’t have been possible if Patrick had not been so adept at keeping the university on task and guiding the stakeholders to make quick, smart decisions.”
— Greg Blais, President, RISE
“Patrick drove the parties to think beyond the existing market precedents and to consider operational details and operational risk transfer in ways that would benefit the university and its stakeholders while also meeting the needs of the private industry partner and the realities of the financial market for these transactions.”
