LAST UPDATED ON 3/12/2008 5:21:02 AM

Wake Forest University provides students with an award-winning wired and wireless campus Reynolda Hall, Reynolda Campusnetwork supporting online services and opportunities to participate in exciting technology pilot programs.

Reynolda campus
The University maintains an extensive online information system that includes documentation, class schedules and grades, University-wide activity calendars, and the Wake Forest University Libraries information system. Specially trained students provide on-site technical support in residence halls and a professionally staffed Help Desk provides walk-in and phone support.

Through a network login ID, Reynolda campus students have access to electronic mail, software packages, and network services and resources. The Wake Forest Information Network (WIN) provides students, faculty, and staff with a dynamic list of services, including online directories, course registration, electronic voting, and online textbook ordering.

Hanes BldgBowman Gray campus
Wake Forest University School of Medicine and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, located on the universities Bowman Gray campus, has been a leader in technology integration in medical and graduate education for several years. Each student is issued a laptop computer at orientation. The complete curriculum schedule, event and material necessary for course study is posted to the Web-based eWake system. All lectures are digitally captured and made available for online review.

The backbone of all the education related information systems is the ubiquitous high-speed A1 Bldgnetworking infrastructure at the Wake Forest University Baptist Medicial Center (WFUBMC) which comprises the two schools on the Bowman Gray campus and North Carolina Baptist Hospitals, Inc. Great lengths have been taken to ensure network access is available in all teaching locations either via wireless access or hard wired Ethernet ports. Every teaching room has network access in either wireless or wired form.

Academic Computing is dedicated to the development and support of technology innovations in medical and graduate school education. The mission is to provide the infrastructure within which faculty and students can effectively utilize technologies to augment the lifelong learning process. A key role of Academic Computing is to facilitate basic understanding with regard to the uses of technology, not only within education but also within the workplace.

The office has developed a ubiquitous computing environment, focusing on technology standards in hardware, software, and networking. Some strategic initiatives have been the development of mobile applications for handheld devices and the web-based curricula for the medical school, the physician assistant program, and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences biomedical graduate programs. The Web-based curricula manage educational content such as problem-based-learning cases, lectures, education-oriented websites, schedules, collaborative discussions, and links to specialty content applications.

Other Facilities
The Piedmont Triad Research Park (PTRP) expansion, led by Wake Forest University Health Sciences PTRPand its affiliates, is being developed to support life science and information technology research and development. Anchored in Winston-Salem's historical downtown business district and centered in the North Carolina Technology Corridor, the PTRP is a highly interactive, master-planned innovation community creating a nucleus of intellectual activity which is attracting new biotechnology investment and development to this well-educated, culturally diverse and arts-rich community.

WFIRMThe Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine (WFIRM) is an international leader in the translation of scientific discovery to clinical therapies. It applies the principles of regenerative medicine to treat human diseases and disabilities. The Institute is a premier tenant at the Piedmont Triad Research Park in downtown Winston-Salem. The Institute serves as an incubator for new biotech businesses generated from the transfer of technologies discovered in its laboratories. In this way, Wake Forest University Health Sciences is building a research and development model that links academic medicine with knowledge-based economic development.

The North Carolina Biotechnology Center is a tenant of PTRP. The Biotechnology Center facilitates partnerships between government, Community-based clinical experiences in the first year, as well as a focus on general population health, are hallmarks of the curriculum. WFIRM works in close collaboration with the Piedmont Triad Research Park and the North Carolina Biotechnology Center. X-Ray Diffraction Laboratory- BGTC

The Center for Structural Biology is located at the Bowman Gray Technical Center (BGTC) and is an Interdisciplinary Organization which combines research and educational resources from WFU Health Sciences and WFU School of Medicine, the WFU Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, and the Undergraduate School of Arts and Sciences.
