Near-Term Central Space Planning: New Website & Open House
The Near-Term Central Campus Space Planning project is the first time Wake Forest’s space — on the Reynolda Campus and within our adjacent properties — has been looked at in a comprehensive way. We are planning to reimagine how our currently available space can serve administrative needs, and thus create space within the academic core of campus to support our academic mission.
