Webinar: Inside the Design Revolution in Student Housing

Student housing design is evolving fast — from built-in productivity features to curated finishes and amenity-rich common spaces that rival hospitality environments.

On Wednesday, September 3 at 2:00 PM Eastern, Student Housing Business will host a webinar, “Inside the Design Revolution in Student Housing,” which explores how design and furniture are evolving to create more dynamic, marketable communities. The conversation will feature insights from leading design, development, and furniture experts.

This panel will discuss trends shaping the next generation of student housing interiors — from unit layouts and common areas to FF&E procurement and brand alignment. Experts will share what’s working, what’s not, and where design is headed next.

Discussion topics will include:

• How are Gen Z preferences reshaping unit design and common areas?
• What role does design play in branding, leasing velocity, and resident satisfaction?
• How are developers and operators approaching durability, customization, and sourcing challenges for FF&E?
• What design features help promote productivity, wellness, and community?
• What lessons have been learned from recent development and renovation projects?

Panelists include:

• Kyle Barger – EVP, Construction Management, The Preiss Company
• Chelsea Kloss – EVP, Design & Curation, LV Collective
• Stacey Lecocke – Division President, Asset Living
• Kaitlin York – Industrial Designer, Kykdesigns
• Lisa Dillon – EVP, Business Development, University Furnishings (Moderator)
