Wake Forest University: Forest Greens
Winston-Salem, NC
Forest Greens was a new concept for the WFU Reynolda Campus Food Court in Benson Hall. Formerly a bank space, Hayden Design worked with the team to create this new dining area which was designed to reflect the healthy, quick meal items available. Natural wood, contemporary metal, bright green subway wall tiles, resin with natural wheat stalks and clean, white quartz counters create an inviting space for the students. The bar and table tops were built with oak wood from a tree that had fallen on campus.

Benson Center Renovations
Winston-Salem, NC
Hayden Design's work at WFU has continued with West & Stem and WFU Facilities to renovate numerous spaces on campus. The Office of the Registrar and the President's Corridor are located in Reynolda Hall. The Registrar's space was a full renovation, which involved converting the former sheet rock covered vault into a focal point as a central conference space with exposed brick walls.The office space, which is frequently visited by students, was opened with glass walls and a streamlined floor plan. We selected finishes and furniture for this space as well as the President's Corridor. This 2nd floor corridor had old linoleum floor tiles, dreary wood paneling and poor lighting. The renovation included new carpet, brighter wall tones, and refurbished oak paneling. Custom pendant light fixtures and track lights were selected for the new art gallery within the space.The University Mail Center was relocated from Poteat Hall. The space was designed to handle a high volume of student packages versus letters. The space has no natural light, so it was designed to be bright and visually appealing for all users. In addition, we worked with the Office of Sustainability to design user-friendly and attractive recycling bins and waste receptacles.

Reynolda Hall Renovations
Winston-Salem, NC
Reynolda Hall is one of the original buildings on the campus of Wake Forest University. Hayden Design was hired to work with the architects and WFU Facilities to renovate over 20,000 sq. ft. of space on four floors, including the Office of Career & Personal Development. The contemporary design of this 7,000 sq. ft. space provides an open, interactive and energetic environment for staff and students. The space needed to connect with the WFU campus but also feel very different as the students are working with staff to prepare for careers and internship opportunities beyond campus. Hayden’s work included interior finishes, furniture plans and specifications, and extensive move management to coordinate new and existing furniture for relocating 14 departments.

The facility, which is part of Winston-Salem’s Industries for the Blind offers after-school and summer camps to children to teach them daily living skills and provide art and recreation programs.

The Living / Learning Center has a “murphy” bed, kitchen, dining and laundry area. Additional spaces include an Audio Library and an Art Room.
