What’s the Piedmont Summit? It’s a one-day workshop for recreation and wellbeing professionals to connect, learn and grow. This free event is open to all collegiate professionals and graduate student staff.
This year’s Piedmont Summit is made possible through the generosity of our architects and friends at RDG Planning & Design. Wake Forest University had the pleasure of working with RDG on the multi-phase renovation and expansion of our 1950s era gym (formerly known as Reynolds Gym) transforming and expanding it into our current Wellbeing Center. Quite a change!
RDG also worked with our colleagues at the University of North Carolina-Greensboro creating the Kaplan Wellness Center, Radford University creating the Student Recreation and Wellness Center, and are currently working with Elon University colleagues on the creation of their new HealthEU Center.
