Conference Lodging
Polo Residence Hall
We strongly encourage all ES12 participants to take advantage of on-campus housing in our attractive Polo Residence Hall. This hall opened in 1998 and features a split-level townhouse-like arrangement. Within each townhouse, four persons share a kitchen, living room, and two bathrooms. Each person has a private bedroom with closet. Individual apartments are available that house two persons sharing a kitchenette, living/dining area, and one double occupancy bedroom. Handicapped-accesible apartments are also available. The cornerstone of the building is the main lobby, which is a two-and-a-half story rotunda. Wireless internet access is available throughout campus, including Polo Residence Hall.
Polo Residence Hall is within a convenient walking distance to all conference activities. The cost for this option is $131 per person for three nights, including tax, linens, and towels. For more information, pictures, floor plans, and corresponding maps, please visit Polo Residence Hall.
Graylyn International Conference Center
Graylyn International Conference Center is the Wake Forest University conference center. Located adjacent to campus on a beautiful 55-acre estate, Graylyn is within a lovely scenic walk from campus through the Reynolda House Gardens and Reynolda Village. Graylyn features 96 uniquely decorated and well-appointed guest rooms in either the castle-like Manor House or French cottage-style Mews. As the university-owned conference center, Graylyn is offering a special rate for our conference attendees, which includes their famous Estate Breakfast. We have a block of rooms reserved for our conference, but room availability is limited due to other events, so please make your arrangements early. Graylyn provides shuttle transportation to and from the airport for a reasonable price. Shuttle service to and from the conference will also be provided by the conference free of charge. For more information or to make your reservation, please contact Graylyn directly and use the Group Code ES12. Even if you are not staying in Graylyn, it's worth a visit for its astonishing architecture and historical background!
