The Future of Student Housing: Innovation, Design, and Community

In-Person Forum

Student Housing

As our cities grapple with housing shortages, student housing has emerged as a solution that benefits multiple stakeholders. Municipalities appreciate its ability to ease pressure on the broader housing stock, developers favor it as one of the few financially viable housing products, and universities rely on it to support growing enrollment numbers.

This convergence of interests is driving a wave of innovation in how we design and build student housing. With rising demand and heightened attention, the question becomes: how do we create housing that not only meets the needs of students but also strengthens our communities?

Please join us for a dynamic conversation exploring the future of student housing. We'll discuss emerging models, construction techniques, and design strategies that are reshaping the landscape and discuss how collaboration across sectors can unlock new possibilities for inclusive, sustainable, and community-oriented development.
