Students, professors, and faculty gathered on Quinnipiac University’s York Hill campus for the opening and ribbon-cutting of the new esports arena. Vice President of Club Esports, Brooke Carlton, helped design the new space with the club’s executive board, assisting in picking out the hardware to be used in the lab. The feeling is that gamers being able to gather with their team in person can help them improve.
“Being able to be with your team in person and be able to talk to them and strategize is game-changing,” said Carlton. “I think it will seriously help every team whether it’s Overwatch, Super Smash Brothers, League of Legends, VALORANT, whatever it is, I think this room is actually going to benefit us a ton.”
Not only will the room be used as a recreational space, but classes will be held in this lab starting in the spring semester. The College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Computing and Engineering will utilize this technology with their students.
The arena is open to all students, so anyone who wants to come to play is free to go. The university hopes this will get more people interested in the world of esports. “Even if you are just a little bit interested, give it a try,” Carlton said. “Get up there and start playing. It’s life-changing, trust me.”
