The Barn is a social gathering space created to enliven and enrich student life at WFU. As a LEED Silver project, it also demonstrates the university’s commitment to sustainability. The Barn is a contemporary rendition of the old tobacco barns that once scattered the local landscape.

Nestled deep within a wooded area on the west side of campus, the Barn is physically separated from the Neo-Georgian campus, but its strong lines and color palette allow it to unmistakably be a Wake Forest project.
