The state-of-the-art Shah Basketball Complex opened in 2019 thanks to the generosity of Mit Shah. The World Class facility provides a one-stop-shop for Wake Forest basketball to fuel up, train, and practice.
"Wake Forest has incredible basketball facilities — some of the best in the country. It made me speechless. I didn't know what to say, they're so advanced & modern. They are amazing."Efton Reid, Wake Forest Men's Basketball
