Syracuse University | Esports Facility
Located inside Syracuse University’s Schine Student Center, the new Esports space will be a dynamic, highly visible showcase area that supports the growth of recreational and competitive Esports. Key features of the new facility include 36 high-performance PC gaming stations, six console stations, VR and simulation stations and a flexible stage for tournaments, presentations and everyday gaming. The layout will incorporate streaming booths, a small control room and an AV/IT closet with server racks, which will integrate with the Newhouse School’s production assets for seamless content creation.
To enhance functionality, the design includes storage for controllers, board games, and other equipment, as well as lockers for staff and student use. Striking visual elements – such as specialized lighting, media displays, and graphics – will add excitement and engagement, while carefully planned traffic flow will maintain accessibility to other areas and avoid cross-traffic.
