British Esports has announced further investment in Sunderland with a new multi-site venue and gaming accommodation all planned.
British Esports has announced its plans to increase investment in the state-of-the-art National Esports Performance Campus (NEPC), which is a multi-site venue and the UK’s most advanced esports and education performance and training centre. To go alongside the facilities, the federation has announced it has now acquired a multi-purpose entertainment venue, as well as brand new esports and gaming accommodation in the city.
Combined with the National Esports Performance Campus, it represents a multi million-pound investment in the city of Sunderland and takes the total footprint to over 30,000 sq ft. Located near to the NEPC, the hub and the Grade II listed townhouses are situated in a conservation area in Sunniside. Split over four floors and currently undergoing extensive renovation and internal refurbishment to restore them to separate residential dwellings, the esports and gaming houses are scheduled to open in late Spring 2023.
