Hearn Plaza

Hearn Plaza, also known as The Quad, is the main quadrangle at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Established in 1956 and named after the university's twelfth president, Thomas K. Hearn, the plaza features notable buildings such as Wait Chapel and Reynolda Hall. It serves as a vibrant hub for university events, including 'Project Pumpkin,' a fundraising initiative, and 'Hit the Bricks,' a relay race supporting cancer research. The plaza is also a site for celebratory traditions like 'Rolling the Quad' after athletic victories, making it a lively destination for both tourists and researchers interested in campus culture.
