On Thursday, April 20, 2017, Wake Forest Athletics held a ceremony to commemorate the groundbreaking of the Shah Basketball Complex and the Sutton Sports Performance Center on campus.
Alumnus Mit Shah (‘91) donated over $5 million to make the Shah Basketball Complex possible, becoming the youngest person ever to give a gift of that magnitude to the university.
Ben Sutton (’80, JD ’83) stepped up once again and gave $15 million for the Sutton Sports Performance Center. This is in addition to the money he had already given recently for the Sutton Center on campus, a welcome addition to Reynolds Gym that added two more full size gyms, and allowed campus recreation to continue operating during the facility’s renovations.
