On October 19, 2016, Planar, a Leyard company and global leader in display and digital signage technology, was announced as the first Sustaining Innovation Partner for the Watt Family Innovation Center with a gift-in-kind valued at more than $1 million. Planar donated 191 large-format, high-resolution interactive LCD displays and 12 LCD video walls, including the video wall in the auditorium, one of the largest the company has ever implemented, to the Watt Center.
Planar Vice President of Sales for North America, Adam Schmidt, visited campus to celebrate this exciting partnership and learn how students are using Planar technology to conduct cutting-edge research in the Watt Center.
During the event, an interdisciplinary Creative Inquiry team presented their human performance engineering research project focused on brain function and demonstrated the critical role of the Planar technology for their ability to collaborate on this project.
Thank you, Planar, for your investment in creativity, innovation, and collaboration at Clemson!
