Varsity Arena

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 reopened in 2018 after a complete renovation, including a brand new locker room and volleyball specific training room.

With a seating capacity of 934 fans, Reynolds Gym provides an electric atmosphere and a distinct home court advantage for the Demon Deacons. The intimacy of the gym also allows the players to feed off the energy and excitement of the crowd.

Reynolds Gym previously was the home of the Wake Forest women's basketball team before that program moved to the LJVM Coliseum.

The 235,000 square foot facility also houses the university gym, a swimming pool, spacious locker rooms, physical education offices, and ROTC.

Originally completed in March of 1956 after the University moved from Wake Forest, N.C., 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 the campus to Winston-Salem.
