WAKE DOWNTOWN
Innovation
Traditio
If you crave a complete change of scenery from the Quad’s Georgian architecture, grab your scientifc calculator and safety goggles and hop on a shuttle bound for Wake Downtown. Located in Innovation Quarter in the heart of WinstonSalem, Wake Downtown is where tradition meets innovation as engineering, the sciences, the arts and the humanities cross paths inside high-tech labs and classrooms. Students enrolled in the engineering and biomedical sciences programs at Wake Downtown are immersed in an active, roll-up-your-sleeves learning environment. Experiential learning normally reserved for graduate-level study is the cornerstone of these undergraduate opportunities. Wake Downtown’s innovative, interdisciplinary space also houses
courses in the arts and humanities alongside our new anchor programs in engineering, biochemistry and molecular biology, and medicinal chemistry and drug discovery. To provide our Wake Downtown students with every advantage, we set up shop right next to the Wake Forest School of Medicine facilities — not only to give our undergraduates proximity to those labs and research spaces, but to increase collaboration with the School of Medicine faculty as well. Classes aren’t the only thing happening downtown. There is life outside the lab, and we’ve made having fun very convenient. When your brain reaches capacity, we suggest you fll up your senses at an art gallery, outdoor concert or unique downtown eatery. The All-You-Can-Learn Buffet of Knowledge 1 17
