• Inclement Weather Policy
  When Clemson University is closed, the Brooks Center cannot lawfully remain open to present performances.  While some facilities around campus maintain "auxiliary" status and therefore may remain open, our facility does NOT have this status and MUST close. We are required to cancel scheduled performances if the university closes for any reason. Check the South Carolina Emergency Management Division's website regarding status of state offices. If Pickens county is closed, the Brooks Center is closed.
