Plans to extend the National Esports Performance Campus in Sunderland have been revealed thanks to further backing from the industry's national body.
The campus, which aims to capitalise on the fast growing industry by training future talent, will now feature an entertainment venue and accommodation to host the UK’s best esports and creative talent. It means the multimillion-pound campus will extend 30,000 sqft over separate premises in the city.
Work is currently underway to ready the Grade II listed townhouses acquired by British Esports which are being converted into accommodation for the campus over four floors. The buildings, close to the campus' focal point near the Stadium of Light, will be able to host 25 people in self contained living spaces and will also feature a digital performance and gaming room with new technologies.
