Creative Hub
Foster innovation with tech-equipped rooms, whiteboards and spaces designed for creative
thinking and collaboration.
Pre-arranged rooms make setting up your event easy! Take advantage of the modular
tables in room 102 to split into smaller work groups and use the personal whiteboards
to solve problems and report findings. The butcher block tables and small sink make
the lab perfect for creative projects. Use the platform in Room 104 to host discussions
and panels and be sure to take advantage of nice weather by opening the garage doors
and extending your space. Rooms 106 & 107 can be combined to accommodate larger events.

FAQs
What is the difference between Internal, Sponsored and External events?
Internal Events are events that are clearly a WSU department or WSU student group
event. These events may use a number of spaces at WSU free of charge, though fees
may be applied for labor, A/V or cleaning associated with events. Sponsored Events
are events that are co-sponsored or co-hosted between a WSU department and an external
entity. These events are able to book space at the Innovation Partner rate. External
Events are those events that do not meet the criteria for Internal or Sponsored Events.
The external or non-profit/government rental rate will be charged accordingly. Read full policy
Do WSU Faculty, Staff or Innovation Partners get a discount?
Faculty, Staff or Innovation Partners can book at the Innovation Partner rate for
