eSports Planning for Gaming and eSports at Your Facility

At Knoll, we’ve always been thinking about how people interact with their environments, and how their environments impact what they do. We know from years of experience, focused on research, that the nature of education has fundamentally shifted.

New organizational structures and alternative learning styles are shaping the next generation of space planning. Knoll helps create adaptable contemporary spaces to support this transformation, including spaces for eSports athletes and fans to come together

Design is inherently about the future—a plan for tackling problems yet to come. We’re excited to share these planning thought starters for eSports and Gaming at your facility.
