On June 15th, Canadian school St. Clair College unveiled plans to build a 15,000-square-foot esports facility at the university’s southern campus in Windsor, Ontario. According to windsoriteDOTca, it is expected to be the “Largest esports facility in Canada”.
According to a press release, the facility is expected to feature a six-vs-six competition stage as well as an open gaming lab with 64 gaming computers, eight console stations, five streaming rooms, and an esports classroom. The venue will also have a broadcast studio and three dedicated VR spaces connected directly to the studio.
“This new esports facility really is the last piece of the puzzle for us,” said Shaun Byrne, the Esports Director at St. Clair College. “We have top-tier academic, varsity, and club esports programs but now they will be able to intermingle under one roof allowing for an unparalleled degree of synergy.”
Construction of the facility will reportedly be done by January of 2022. It comes as part of the school’s $23 million expansion of its Windsor campus.
St. Clair College is a public university located in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. As of February, there are over 14K students enrolled at the school.
