2025 ANNUAL REPORT

From the Vice President for Facilities, Real Estate and Planning

Welcome to the 2025 Annual Report. This document highlights the notable achievements of our Facilities, Real Estate, and Planning teams over the past year.

Our dedicated staff of over 250 professionals are responsible for the stewardship of Wake Forest University’s physical assets. We understand that a vibrant, well-maintained campus is essential for attracting and retaining world-class students, faculty, and staff. As you navigate this report, I hope it demonstrates our core values of supporting our customers, staff, and facilities in the most efficient means possible.

I want to extend my sincere gratitude to the entire Facilities team—not only for their contributions to this report but for their tireless daily commitment to prioritizing the safety, cleanliness, and overall well-being of our physical spaces.
