Thanks to the incredible leadership of nearly 300 loyal supporters, including alumni Dr. Caryl Guth, Chris Paul and Mit Shah, Wake Forest University will dedicate the new on-campus clubhouses of men’s and women’s basketball student-athletes on Thursday, Sept. 1.

The Chris Paul Family Men’s Basketball Clubhouse & Dr. Caryl Guth Women’s Basketball Clubhouse includes new locker rooms, lounge areas, training rooms and nutrition zones for the Demon Deacons programs. These projects mark the moment of continued progress on the 4th Quarter Drive to improve upon the World Class Student-Athlete Experience provided to Wake Forest student-athletes.

Pre-construction began over the winter break in Dec. 2021 and Wake Forest’s men’s and women’s basketball student-athletes will move into this world class facility later in September.

The Chris Paul Family Men's Basketball & Dr. Caryl Guth Women's Basketball Clubhouses are fully funded by donor gifts and the project was unanimously approved by the Wake Forest University Board of Trustees at its January 2022 meeting. The $7.2M million total project price tag includes all design, construction, maintenance and operational support, and no long-term debt will be incurred.

Wake Forest Athletics partnered with Vannoy Construction as the contractor for the project and the architecture firm of Walter Robbs provided the design.

Additionally, construction of these clubhouses provided tremendous Value to Winston-Salem as 41 different sub contractors/trades worked on this project and approximately 195 jobs were created. With that, 33 of the 41 contractors that worked on this project are located within a 35 mile radius of Wake Forest’s Reynolda campus. 56.5 percent of the funds raised for the project came from outside the Triad region.

Responding to the lead gifts of Chris Paul, Dr. Caryl Guth and Mit Shah to fully fund this World Class facility, Wake Forest is especially grateful for the leadership of the these generous donors:
-- Hal & Rita Rosser Family.
-- Larry & Ann Johnston Family.
-- Roy & Grace Nifong Family.

Overall, 284 donors have contributed to the Chris Paul Family Men's Basketball & Dr. Caryl Guth Women's Basketball Clubhouses and fundraising efforts are ongoing for additional basketball program support efforts. Additionally, this project is a part of Wake Forest Athletics 4th Quarter Drive that includes the McCreary Football Complex and the renovation of the Miller Center for Student-Athlete Academic Services/Student-Athlete Career Development.

Nearly 500 donors have contributed to the 4th Quarter Drive effort.

The new clubhouses will replace the current locker rooms that are located on the first floor of the Miller Center that were constructed in 2001.
