THERE were smiles all round when the doors were thrown open to the new Esports Lab at Solihull College and University Centre.
The suite was designed by lecturer Anthony Stafford with Computing and Emerging Technologies students having their say during the decision making processes. They also voluntarily helped with building the room.
The state-of-the-art lab at the Blossomfield Campus features multi coloured lighting, light changing keyboards and gaming chairs.
Esports is a mix of sport, marketing, enterprise and creatives.
The College’s BTEC Level 3 National Diploma in Networking, Business and Games Design (Esports) has been developed to meet the upcoming demand for skills including computer networking alongside games development.
Anthony said: “We wanted to get the students involved in the look of the lab as we felt it was important for them to study in a place they have an attachment with and somewhere they feel proud to work in.”
