1) ’55 Exchange
Grab a milkshake, cold brew or a classic world-famous ice cream at ’55 Exchange in Hendrix Student Center. Every step of the process — from formulating flavors to serving scoops — is student-run and Clemson at its core.
2) Under a tree on Bowman
The front lawn of Clemson’s campus, Bowman Field is the perfect place to play Spikeball, spend time outside with friends and family, or just sit and read. When it’s time for a sun break, pop under one of several big trees and enjoy the shade.
3) Snow Family Outdoor Fitness and Wellness Complex
With beach access to Lake Hartwell, a sand volleyball court, and outdoor equipment like bikes and kayaks to check out at the Andy Quattlebaum Outdoor Education Center, Snow offers students and community members a place to enjoy the water and land while the weather is warm.
4) VR in Watt Family Innovation Center
Check out the Immersive Space for a dip into virtual reality. Contact vrclub@clemson.edu or their faculty advisor Nate Newsome to make a special reservation for a class or event, where you can to explore, design and interact with the limitless possibilities that VR offers.
5) Lucky Duck Bistro
Take a break after golfing, or just stop by for a meal at the Lucky Duck Bistro in the Nieri Family Alumni and Visitors Center. While you’re there, explore the new facility and its interactive displays, and visit the Pro Shop to browse a wide selection of Tiger gear.
