EKU Esports Lounge – Eastern Kentucky University’s Campus Gaming Hub

EKU Esports Lounge at Eastern Kentucky University energizes campus life on the second floor of the Student Recreation Center, delivering a student-favorite escape for competitive frags and casual hangs. This modern space packs Alienware PCs, Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and retro arcade games ideal for drop-ins, club scrims, or quick unwind sessions.

The lounge is open to the general public alongside EKU students, faculty, and staff via Student Recreation Center membership (available to community members), with access to the Esports Lounge included for all members including minors (ages 13 and under limited to certain areas).

From Super Smash Bros. tourneys to Rocket League showdowns, it hosts student-led events and competitive play, blending high-energy action with rec-center perks like climbing walls and courts nearby. Reviewers call it a “safe space” for making friends over shared lobbies, with staff who run smooth operations.
