New Reynolda Campus Addresses Information
In August, following approval by the Winston-Salem City Council, Wake Forest completed the process of naming roads on the Reynolda Campus in honor of four trailblazing professors. At that time, the University began a process to add addresses to buildings and locations on the Reynolda Campus.
Addresses have been added to nearly every area of campus, including athletic fields, storage areas, and Hearn and Manchester Plazas. Where buildings and parking lots have signage, the address will be displayed. Additionally, digital maps showing addresses for other spaces without signage will be available for use via GPS navigation apps and also for emergency responders to pinpoint precisely where to go in the event of a 911 call.
Reynolda Campus maps have been updated to include the new addresses. Campus visitors will be able to add the address of the exact location of a building or area – such as Porter Byrum Welcome Center, Angelou Residence Hall or Spry Soccer Field – in their wayfinding app.
Below are some questions and answers to help the WFU community take full advantage of the new addresses.
