Alumni Hall to be renovated for academic space
Wake Forest is beginning to take action on its near-term Central Campus space plan as part of its strategy to renew academic and student support spaces. The first step will be the renovation of most of Alumni Hall into academic space, bringing the departments of Philosophy, Education, and Computer Science and the Entrepreneurship program under one roof.
The connectivity and potential community between these disciplines invite innovative interdisciplinary collaboration and encourage experiential pedagogy. Moreover, this relocation creates much-needed room and purpose-built space to support specialized and experiential research, mentored scholarship, community engagement, and project-based, hands-on learning.
