New Gaming Room at TC

The Trojan Center introduced a new space this semester with the opening of the Gaming Room, located in what used to be the campus esports room.

Rows of leather couches, armchairs, and low coffee tables fill the center of the space, giving students a comfortable spot to sit down, hang out, or play some games between classes.

The room is equipped with a few TVs and monitors paired with different consoles, including a PlayStation 5, a Nintendo Switch, and a Nintendo Wii. Along the side wall, there is also an older CRT box television hooked up to an older console.

Access is informal. Anyone on campus can drop in without needing a reservation or sign-up, and the space generally stays open during regular Trojan Center hours.

Even with the consoles set up, the room has largely served as an extra quiet lounge for now. Because not many people are actively using it yet, it mostly functions as a low-traffic corner where students can step away from the louder common areas of the TC to recharge or get some work done.
