“
If you really go and get a unique perspective by actually looking at what the players do and what happens,
you'd be able to see that it's actually a very competitive environment at the top of collegiate eSports."
Ian Alexander, Columbia College Gamer
Originally an old soccer facility, the “Game Hut” quickly became the hub for Columbia’s comprehensive gaming program—and has grown exponentially with each expansion of the program. With Dimensional Innovation’s expertise, the custom-designed and LED-lit space houses PS4, Xbox, and gaming PCs, available to both the general student population and the campus’ competitive team. As a recruitment tool for both recreational and competitive gamers, students are flocking to the space and love spending time there with friends and colleagues. During the HUE Championship—a collegiate gaming event with a $50,000 prize—Columbia’s team rose to the top and were able to put their earnings back into the esports program, facilities, and scholarships.
When the facility opened, Columbia College was just the fourth school in the United States to offer esports scholarships. The Game Hut became an extension of university leadership’s forward-thinking initiatives to create a unique space for the gaming community.
