Working in a Treehouse

More than a technological enhancement, Clemson University’s new West End Zone video board reimagines the game day experience as a celebration of campus identity, tradition, and community. Serving as the visual heart of Memorial Stadium, the board unites more than 80,000 fans through shared moments of excitement and reflection while extending the storytelling power of Clemson beyond the field. Architectural expression, dynamic audiovisual displays, and iconic elements—including the beloved Tiger perched atop the structure—transform the video board into a symbol of school spirit and heritage. Clad in a contextual blend of brick and perforated metal, the landmark creates a distinctive gateway along the southern edge of campus, balancing the scale of the stadium with the character of its surroundings while establishing a vibrant presence day and night.

Design Details

The project reaches far beyond the stadium walls, strengthening connections between Memorial Stadium, the Scroll of Honor Memorial Park, and the broader campus environment. Strategic site improvements enhance pedestrian circulation, accessibility, and safety while creating a seamless transition between key campus destinations. A shared plaza and realigned concourse reinforce visual and physical connections to the memorial park, honoring Clemson’s history while elevating the visitor experience. Inside the stadium, renovated clubs, suites, and premium hospitality spaces foster stronger connections to the action on the field, improving comfort, visibility, and operational efficiency. As the culmination of the West End Zone transformation, the project introduces a prominent spire and refined massing that reinforce stadium wayfinding, create a balanced architectural composition, and establish a cohesive identity that is unmistakably Clemson.
