This spring semester saw the opening of a new esports facility at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse (UWL) in the Recreational Eagle Center (REC) called EZONE. With the opening of EZONE, The REC now provides more options for all students to participate in activities both outside and inside.
“We have seen a trend in other universities, and we wanted to provide a new opportunity for students who might not normally come here (the REC),” said Jeff Keenan, Director of Recreational Sports at UWL. “We want to have something for everyone.”
This new facility features 24 high-powered Alienware Aurora R12 gaming PC’s, four console stations which include the new Xbox series X, PS5, and the Nintendo Switch. There are also Virtual Reality headsets available to play with.
Students can play anytime EZONE is open. The hours are Monday-Friday 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday noon to 10 p.m. With no extra cost to students, Keenan says students can just swipe their Student IDs at the front desk.
