The building is home to several spaces specifically purposed for student lead ideation including Clemson's brand new 3D Printing club. The Watt Center is a hub of creation that is centered on a common drive for innovation. This space has the capacity to continue to generate an entrepreneurial mindset alongside the innovation that Clemson is kick starting. While the rooms in the building still have possibility for development, the Watt Center is a step in the right direction for initiating change on campus.
Clemson is home to many makerspaces available to students which are focused on encouraging design practices and innovation. '''Lee Hall''' is a space open to architecture students that houses both a woodworking shop and digital design studio. '''Riggs Hall''' has a microcontroller and electronics design shop open to the school of computing. '''Cook Laboratory '''is a sophisticated mechanical engineering shop that houses any tool you could possibly need, and offers training and safety courses for all of their equipment. Spaces like these are the reasons Clemson is able to have student clubs like the Steel Bridge Builders and Concrete Canoe Challenge, which encourage design thinking and innovative solutions.
