Of the limiting factors for video games, space and access are two of the largest constraints for users. Facilities provide both of these, and allow for stable internet connection, which is not a luxury that every gamer has. More and more video games are mirroring the scale of traditional sports, so facilities that are purpose-built are becoming more in-demand for the growing rise of esports within all forms of the entertainment industry.

Frequently Asked Questions
The design phase of an esports arena architecture project depends on whether the facility is a net-new building or if it is going to inhabit a room in an already-existing space. Many universities and schools who repurpose an existing room on campus can get through the design process in 4 weeks.
For those looking to build new buildings or arenas to accommodate esports, the design process will be more in depth and a timeline can be provided once the scope is understood through stakeholder discussions.
The size needed for a 12 to 24 PC setup and 2 to 4 console stations is 1,600 sq ft. More and more, we are seeing facilities grow in size to accommodate spectator seating, lounge areas, VR, broadcasting/shoutcasting, and other amenities to support their growing esport communities.
We have seen universities look at high-traffic areas on campus that have unused space. This could be a room in the Student Union, an unused computer lab, an old book store, and everything in between. Universities are also beginning to build standalone facilities and arenas to support growing esports programs.
Typically in an esports facility, important considerations are made on the desk setups housing the high-end PCs, as well as the lounge areas. A large factor of the esports industry lies in the power of spectating, locally, and globally—it’s important to focus on how to best build your facility to incorporate strong spectating usage for participants.
