Kitchin Residence Hall
Kitchin Residence Hall, renovated during Summer 2015, was named for the ninth president of Wake Forest University, Thurman D. Kitchin. A 1905 graduate, he guided the University through economic depression and the moving of the central campus from the town of Wake Forest, North Carolina, to Winston-Salem. It was also during this time that women were admitted to the University for the first time. Kitchin houses the Deacon Shop, Campus Kitchen, and both Greek and faith-based organizations. There is a study/activity lounge to accommodate a variety of activities.
