David McCullough to Speak at 2026 Student & Workforce Housing Conference

Student & Workforce Housing Development Conference & Expo 2026 returns to Los Angeles this May, bringing together leaders shaping the future of student and workforce housing. McCullough Landscape Architecture is proud to share that David McCullough will join a featured panel focused on the realities of building student housing in dense urban environments.

Titled “Site Challenges for Student Housing in the Urban Environment,” the session takes place Friday, May 8 from 11:10 AM to 12:00 PM. David joins a multidisciplinary group including Dr. Joel Peterson of San Diego Community College District, Scott Cooper of The Michaels Organization, and Lisa Majchrzak of TCA Architects.

As community colleges expand housing to support student success, project teams are navigating tighter sites, complex approvals, and growing expectations around wellness and sustainability. This conversation will explore how collaboration across institutions, developers, and designers can unlock solutions.

From maximizing constrained urban footprints to integrating meaningful open space, David will share McCullough’s perspective on designing landscapes that support mental health, foster connection, and bring ecological value to high-density campuses.

We look forward to contributing to this important dialogue and connecting with peers advancing student housing across California and beyond.
