While the specifics of innovation spaces can vary, it is important to include some key elements that help encourage design thinking when using the space. Whiteboard walls, moveable furniture, computers, and a projector or large tv for presentations should all be included when the space is planned.
== <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">Operations and logistics of the space</span><br/> == It is important to keep the main focus of the facility in mind when deciding how to handle the operations and logistics of the space. Something that has worked well for Clemson University is to have two student leads for the space - one from the engineering college and one from the business college. They work together to bring students into the space and to make sure it is being used correctly. There is also a faculty member that serves as an advisor to the students to advocate for them when issues arise. Overall, the space should serve as a platform of idea sharing between students of all different majors. Students should be able to pitch ideas to their peers, form teams around those ideas, and work wirth advisors (both internal and external) to help figure out how to bring their idea to market.
