CASE STUDY
Clemson University, Clemson, South Carolina
The Watt is located in the heart of the Clemson University campus in South Carolina. It is a four story, 70,000 square foot educational facility with cutting edge audio visual and information technology. Equipped with 12 video walls ranging in size from 8 by 5 to 32 by 9 feet; a 13 by 8 foot 3D laser projector in the Watt’s auditorium; 191 large-screen HD touchscreen monitors and 73 teaching/collaboration spaces equipped with the latest AV equipment.

The Watt’s AV/IT equipment has been laid out to foster Clemson University’s notion of inter-active, innovative active learning. This project includes a Crestron routing layer controlled with Crestron touch panels which provides the end users with a seamless, user-friendly operation of systems. 4K Planar video walls and interactive displays are present in most spaces throughout the building and SVSi networked digital media distribution allows the users to send content from any source to virtually any display within the building.
Echo360 is being used to capture lecture sessions in the engineering collaboration classrooms. This provides instructors with the ability to create and share their content from anywhere, while giving the students the flexibility to view recorded lessons on their device of choice.
The entire facility is built with a 100-percent 4K-capable infrastructure utilizing Crestron’s Cat7a cable and connections. This insures that the center is as future-proofed as possible and can send 4K signals the greatest distance possible at this time. Meanwhile, the Crestron Fusion enterprise management platform is being used to both schedule rooms and resources, and also to track usage of spaces and equipment. This data allows Clemson University to monitor how their spaces are being used over time and will allow them to design more targeted functionality in their second generation spaces. Clark Powell programmed all of the on-campus digital signal processing units to optimize audio performance.
