With more than 20 high-performance PC gaming stations and a spacious TV lounge for console gaming, the space will offer opportunities for students to compete, collaborate, and unwind. Whether engaging in tournaments, casual play, or simply relaxing with friends, the eSports area will be a vibrant hub where students can connect through shared interests and experiences.
Sorry for the lack of updates but there has not been any progress on the room itself, because it will be a quick build out, but the majority of work has been centered around everything else.
- Furniture has been selected for the console gaming side of the space and we think students will love it. Using student feedback, selections were made that prioritized functionality and comfort.
- Gaming chairs are in production and each one will have the eSports logo stitched into the headrest portion of the chair.
- Wall graphics have been chosen for two of the walls, the biggest being the wall you will see when you walk in and what will be the backdrop for the competition stage. We wanted to use Belmont colors, logos, and text.
