In October, the Illinois State University Board of Trustees approved a $5.95 million renovation project for the school’s Bowling and Billiards Center (BBC). This project aims to change the venue into a full-scale esports facility for the school’s gaming organization, Redbird Esports.
The completed space will be one of the largest facilities in the nation at 11,00-square-feet. It will also be outfitted with 72 gaming PCs, student support rooms, broadcast booths, gaming consoles, and so much more.
“The BBC is a great building for bowling and billiards, and this gives us the opportunity to make the activity room into something that will truly meet a student and university need,” she said. “And to be able to do that at the main entrance of the campus is just phenomenal.”
Illinois State University is a higher education institution based in Normal, Illinois. As of September 1st, 2021, there are over 20,000 students enrolled at the school.
