Esports Facilities
Western Michigan University is proud to offer multiple gaming facilities on campus dedicated to Esports.
The WMU Esports Arena (at Little Theater) is a venue for both our university and Kalamazoo gaming communities. It is one of the very few esports arenas in Michigan to provide space for practice, tournament play and professional production, all in one location. The state-of-the-art facility offers multiple gaming machines, of which 10 are competition computers, set in front of a 190-seat auditorium.
The Bronco Esports Lab (at the Student Recreation Center) is a brand new venue built to provide more on campus gaming opportunities for our students. It is located on the 3rd floor of the SRC, and features multiple gaming machines, Xbox Series X and Nintendo Switch. The Bronco Esports Lab is open Monday through Friday, noon to 10 p.m.
Join us for our grand opening of the Bronco Esports Lab on Wednesday, August 27 at 11:45 a.m. The first 100 guests will receive a giveaway!
