Huskies Esports Lounge @ Atwood
The Huskies Esports Lounge @ Atwood is the primary gaming lounge available for students of all interest levels. It is located on the first floor of the Atwood Memorial Center. We encourage all Huskies to stop by for some esports fun, whether you like to play, watch others play or just want to connect with other students.
The Huskies Esports Lounge is equipped with high-end gaming equipment including HP® OMEN gaming computers and displays, and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics cards.
Students can also bring their own gaming devices and games to play with others, or check out Switch games and equipment to use in the Huskies Esports Lounge through Atwood’s Information Desk using their Campus Card.
Let us know if there are other games you’d like to play in the Huskies Esports Lounge by contacting esports@stcloudstate.edu!
