Reynolds Gym Virtual Tour
The historic home of the Wake Forest volleyball team is Reynolds Gymnasium, located in the heart of the Wake Forest Reynolda Campus. Home to the volleyball team since 1971, Reynolds Gym was renovated during the winter of 2004, making it one of the most modern volleyball gyms in the ACC.

Once a site of all women's basketball games, Reynolds Gym not only serves as the home of the volleyball team, but it is also used and as an alternative practice location for both the Demon Deacon men's and women's basketball teams.

During this past off-season, Reynolds Gym underwent a face lift that included new automatic bleachers, two ceiling hung basketball goals, an updated scoreboard and shot clock and a redesigned floor. The walls and ceiling were also painted.

Originally completed in March of 1956 after the University moved from Wake Forest to Winston-Salem, the gym is named after the late William Neal Reynolds, a former president of R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. Reynolds was one of the central figures in the plan that resulted in the decision to move to Winston-Salem.

The 235,000 square foot facility houses the indoor gym, a swimming pool, spacious lockerrooms, physical education offices, ROTC, the main athletic equipment room and the sports medicine unit.
