The spring semester has opened with the Wake Forest University Police Department in a new home. During the winter break, the police department moved into Alumni Hall, where University Advancement and Parking and Transportation are also located.
The police department moved into the area of Alumni Hall formerly occupied by Residence Life and Housing and the Deacon OneCard office, which moved into the newly-built Maya Angelou Residence Hall.
The police department is inviting students, faculty and staff to Alumni Hall on Feb. 1 to help the department celebrate having its first new home since the 1980s. An open house will be held from 2 to 4 p.m.

“We are pleased to be in our new professional and welcoming space. We can much better serve our community and meet the day to day operational needs of the University Police Department,” said University Police Chief Regina Lawson, who joined the department in 1989.
Until now, Lawson had worked her entire Wake Forest career in the department’s former offices in the H.S. Moore Building located at the far southern end of campus. They had shared the building with Facilities and Campus Services.
“All of us in the University Police Department hope to see many of our campus community members and off-campus community partners at our open house,” Lawson said. “As chief, I would like to see our students, faculty, staff and others become familiar with our new home and more familiar with all of us who are committed to serving Wake Forest.”
The police department’s business offices are open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. People can call the department 24/7 on its emergency line, 336-758-5911, or its business line, 336-758-5591.
At present, the police department’s communication center remains in Davis Residence Hall. It is open to receive visitors 24/7. The center will move into Alumni Hall this spring.

Road in front of Alumni Hall will close at night this week
Because of a steam leak in the line that feeds Alumni Hall, Facilities & Campus Services will be closing the road in front of Alumni Hall each evening beginning Tuesday, Sept. 17, from 7 p.m. until 7 a.m. to make repairs. Work should be complete by Saturday morning at 7 a.m.
Steel plates will be installed over the openings in the road during daylight hours to allow normal traffic flow. Please use caution as you go through the area.
As part of the repair, there will be no steam available to Alumni Hall. This will affect domestic hot water (sinks) and HVAC reheat. Facilities & Campus Services will monitor and adjust room temperatures as necessary.
