It is part of the University of the Witwatersrand, although it also caters for professional companies, dance studios and schools. It is run by the University's Performing Arts Administration (PAA).The Wits Theatre Complex opened in July 1983. Plans for the construction of the theatre complex were first announced ten years before that; in the interim, money for construction had been raised from public and private sources. Before the construction of the theatre complex, the Schools of Dramatic Art and Music had been staging productions in a building on campus called the Nunnery, a former convent. The Nunnery has been retained as a teaching venue. The Wits Theatre Complex has three venues: the 367-seat Wits Theatre the 120-seat Amphitheatre the 120-seat Downstairs TheatreIn addition, the 1035-seat Great Hall is also used by the PAA, although it is not part of the Wits Theatre Complex.

The Tshimologong Precinct is a Wits University based tech incubator in Braamfontein. Tshimologong is a Setswana Word for new beginnings. This tech hub was set up by the late Barry Dwolatzky in 2014, and then launched in 2016. Dwolatzky was known and recognized for his leadership and idealism in software engineering and among his many achievements, he led the Joburg Center for Software Engineering (JCSE). On this initiative, Dwolatzky was inspired by start-up urbanism. The original vision of the precinct was to inspire talent, create employment and commercialise the research of Wits students. Since its establishment, this hub or lab has indeed resulted in spatial changes in Braamfontein, but it is debatable as to whether the Tshimologong Precinct itself has lead and catalyzed an “economic renaissance”, or a “flat white” economy, as originally envisaged. Instead, the “new beginnings” may be described as another example of “siliconization”, where big tech and the [Nouveau_riche| nouveau riche] collaborate to cannibalize the technocultures of an old regime. The Tshimologong Precinct is also the location for IBM’s second research hub on the African Continent. The Tshimologong Precinct aspires to facilitate collaboration between academia, corporates, government and entrepreneurs. For example, the Hack Jozi Challenge was a partnership between the City of Johannesburg and Wits University (through the Tshimologong Precinct), which is intended to create and develop digital solutions which could be used to solve common challenges. Conceived as a bootcamp, the Hack Jozi challenge was promoted as a method for aspiring entrepreneurs to deliver innovative ideas annually. Hack Jozi Winners would earn R1 000 000 and business mentorship from the Joburg Centre for Software Engineering, while other prize winners would earn hub mentorship opportunities.
