This includes San Jose Diridon station and several stations along the Central Valley segment of California High-Speed Rail. Campbell’s work includes a wide range of projects, many involving adaptive reuse and mixed-use districts. What can California learn from international examples Foster + Partners has worked on? Are there lessons to be drawn on delivering projects more efficiently, while also maximizing their benefits for cities and regions? Join us for this not-to-be-missed conversation on Thursday, October 9th!

About the Featured Speaker

Angus Campbell studied at the University of Birmingham and the Bartlett School of Architecture before joining Foster + Partners in 1990. During his three decades at Foster + Partners, he has worked on some of the world’s most prestigious rail infrastructure, venues, and masterplans across more than 20 countries. Angus has overseen some of our most complex projects, including Wembley Stadium, which opened in 2007; the development of the adjoining Wembley Park Station and masterplan, now the centrepiece of one of the world’s most successful entertainment districts; and the Hydro in Glasgow, one of the busiest 15,000-seat indoor arenas in the world. Angus has also been involved in the design of major pieces of infrastructure, starting with the King’s Cross Masterplan and the expansion of St Pancras Station. This experience led to his role as architectural design lead for the Haramain High-Speed Rail, linking the cities of Makkah and Madinah, which opened in 2019, as well as the transportation plan for the city of Jeddah. Angus’ unique experience includes the design of stations as urban anchors and how this impacts the design of the surrounding precinct in its urban setting. This gives him a holistic understanding of design briefs and the associated challenges they pose in creating a successful 365-day destination. Since 1998, he has developed a keen interest in venues and transit architecture. He was project architect for Wembley National Stadium, became a project director in 2001, a partner in 2004, and was made a senior partner in 2014. Recent projects include the City and South West Extension in Sydney, where he designed six stations with integrated overbuild, which opened in 2024. He is currently working in California on California High-Speed Rail, the expansion of Diridon Intermodal Station, and the BART Extension, which brings public transport to Silicon Valley.

October 28, 2025 to October 30, 2025 2025 “Research to Practice” Transit Symposium  -  Online

Link to Register.

The 2025 “Research to Practice” Transit Symposium will take place October 28-30, 2025. The symposium will take place online and streamed on YouTube. As the transit industry is experiencing significant changes (e.g., new technologies, potential funding shortage) in recent years, the symposium provides a platform where transit experts share insights on how evidence-based research is being or can be, used to make the most of these opportunities in a dynamic environment. This year’s symposium will focus on the following topics:

  • AI in Transit
  • Federal Transit Innovations
  • High-speed rail
  • Rural Transit
  • Intercity Bus Systems
  • Microtransit and Paratransit State of Practice

In addition to the opening and closing plenaries, the symposium features two types of sessions:

  • Researcher + practitioner sessions: researchers and practitioners will jointly present a research project that addresses a practical issue important to a transit agency, metropolitan planning organization, or department of transportation.
  • Regular sessions: traditional presentations where an individual presenter shares transit-related research.

AICP credits will be available for this event. Information about previous years’ events can be found here.
