Rutgers Esports Center – a 2,700 ft² campus esports facility supporting varsity play, casual students, and broadcast training

Tucked inside the Busch Student Center near the food court, the Rutgers Esports Center is the digital heartbeat of campus gaming culture. A sleek 2,700-square-foot facility designed for all levels of gamers, it blends high-intensity competition with chill social play.

Step in to discover 60 MSI gaming PCs—of which 12 are specially equipped for national-level tournaments—stacked with hardware that means serious performance. Nearby, a console corner, a bring-your-own CRT station, and a VR experience offer casual and nostalgic play in equal measure.

The Center exists as both a home and a workshop: it’s where students gather to build academic and social skills through gaming, explore varsity and club competition, and connect with a broader community over shared passions. Accessible and welcoming, the Esports Center is where gaming becomes a purposeful, campus-defining experience.
