don’t forget the details
1. Air Ventilation – Gaming PCs generate significant heat, especially when running at high performance. Proper airflow is essential to maintain both comfort and equipment quality. Towers should be kept off the floor to prevent dust buildup and away from desk edges to avoid accidental falls. Instead, dedicated shelving or enclosed systems with ventilation help prevent overheating and extend the life of the equipment.
2. Noise – When students compete in an esports arena, the energy and excitement can quickly turn into a lot of noise, even with headsets on. While the enthusiasm is
part of the fun, it can also become distracting. To help players stay focused, designers should use acoustic panels, fabric seating and adequate spacing between stations to absorb sound and reduce echo. This keeps the environment energized but manageable during intense gameplay.
3. Screen Placement – Monitor placement greatly affects comfort and ergonomics. Whether screens are mounted or placed on desks, the setup should allow players enough space for proper posture and movement. Poorly placed monitors can push keyboards too far forward, leading to discomfort and reduced performance. Planning layout and furniture dimensions early prevents these issues.
4. Peripheral Storage – Esports spaces are filled with gear like headsets, controllers and gaming mice. To keep everything organized and secure, schools should plan for lockers, cubbies or charging stations. Clear labeling or custom vinyl skins help distinguish school-owned equipment from personal items, keeping the space neat and efficient.
5. Cord Management – With so many electronics in one space, managing cords is crucial. Without proper planning, cables can create clutter, limit mobility and pose tripping hazards. Using cable trays, clips and designated connection points keeps the setup organized and functional, allowing players to focus on performance instead of tangles.
