Annual Student Housing Forum 2014

Affordability and safety, the provision of living and learning environments that reflect student life, social and community engagement have all become key elements in the planning and design of student housing.

The 5th annual Student Housing Forum brings together university planners and managers with designers and student accommodation experts to look at the ways in which universities can provide distinctive, affordable, secure, supportive and inclusive campus living. It examines the features that distinguish best practice, considers the challenges for supply and affordability and beyond that explores the ways in which student accommodation goes beyond a residence to an environment that offers the best campus experience.
