NC State Gaming & Esports Lab – Raleigh, NC, USA

A 35-PC esports research & student facility inside Hunt Library, evolving into a full arena by 2026. Tucked within the NCSU Libraries’ DH Hill Jr. Library, this bright, tech-packed space offers students a fresh spin on traditional study halls. With a suite of high-performance iMacs and PCs, plus space for personal gaming setups, it’s designed to be both a digital oasis and a social spot.

Whether you’re there for a quick co-op session or to connect over strategy with friends, the Lab supports campus gaming culture—circulating cards, consoles, and converting into a multi-player play zone on select nights. Open to anyone with a valid Wolfpack Pass, the Lab layers shared exploration and casual competition with public access convenience—making it as much a communal lounge as it is a gaming venue.
