In the fall of 2023, Corsair Esports opened the doors to a brand-new arena in the lower level of the Claire T. Carney Library, thanks to a corporate partnership with CDW providing nearly $40,000 of in-kind donations.
Those funds led to 11 new gaming stations each equipped with Spectrum sit-to-stand desks, Genova gaming chairs, Lenovo computer systems and monitors, Logitech headsets, keyboards, and mice, and a Spectrum Shoutcaster double station (broadcast booth for commentary).
The arena provides team members both free exposure to state-of-the-art equipment and high-speed internet, but also space for gamers to come together in an inclusive culture.
