Innovation Quarter
In fall 2017, EDU 377/677: Literacy in the 21st Century became the first course housed in the Department of Education to be taught at Wake Downtown, which is part of Winston-Salem's Innovation Quarter.
Innovation Quarter is located in the southeastern portion of downtown Winston-Salem. This bustling area is considered a strong hub for innovation and research due to the growing number of novel companies and educational spaces. Wake Forest University has recently joined Innovation Quarter with the introduction of Wake Downtown. This new Wake Forest facility is connected to the Medical School, offers an array of classes from the hard sciences to the humanities, and is the home of Biomedical Sciences and Engineering at Wake Forest. Wake Forest University hopes to use this new extension of campus as a way to further integrate the undergraduate students with the community of Winston-Salem. Eric Tomlinson, the current President of Wake Forest Innovation Quarter believes Wake Downtown should be an “ecosystem that allows ideas to take hold and support creativity, innovation and sustained business growth in every way possible” (www.innovationquarter.com).
