This case study discussion focuses on UNC Greensboro, who recently implemented a brand new esports arena on campus for its students to have a new space to use academically, competitively, or recreationally. The new UNC Greensboro esports arena will be a proof point during this conversation as the group discusses how technology plays a role in the flexibility of this space and its multiple uses. Esports arenas are most known to house competitions, and extracurricular games, but it also is a place where educators can bring their students to activate hands-on learning.
