Island Design

An island configuration groups gaming stations together in the center of the room, often in back-to-back, hexagonal, or pod structures.  We engineer these pods with built-in, centralised cable management cores.

Advantages:

Natural Communication. Players sit angled toward or opposite one another. This mimics a professional tournament environment, boosting eye contact, non-verbal cues, and team morale.

Superior Coach Sightlines. Coaches and analysts can walk 360 degrees around the pod. They can observe multiple screens, hand movements, and facial expressions simultaneously without blocking anyone’s view.

Spectator and Broadcast Appeal. Because the screens face outward or are angled toward the room, it is much easier for an audience or a broadcast camera crew to capture the action.

Centralized Infrastructure. A single “island” consolidates power, data cables, and heat management into one central hub, keeping the rest of the room clean and trip-hazard free.

Best Suited For:

Varsity & Competitive Teams.  Ideal for high-level programs focusing on team synergy and communication.

Esports Arenas & Showcase Rooms.  Perfect for spaces meant to impress recruits, host tournaments, or live-stream matches.

Choose the Island Design if your goal is competitive excellence and entertainment. It treats players as a unit, elevates the premium feel of the room, and turns the suite into a true spectator hub.

Arcade Style Straight Run

The straight run layout places desks side-by-side directly against one or more walls of the room, with screens facing the wall and players’ backs to the center of the room.

Advantages:

Maximum Space Efficiency.  By utilizing the perimeter, you leave the centre of the room completely open. This allows you to fit the maximum number of stations into a smaller footprint.

Reduced Distractions. Players face the wall, limiting peripheral visual distractions from the rest of the room and helping them tunnel-vision on their individual gameplay.

Multipurpose Flexibility. Because the center of the room remains empty, the space can easily pull double duty as a traditional computer lab, a lecture space, or a meeting room.

Simplified Installation. Power and data can be run straight through standard wall trunking, reducing the need for core drilling or specialized floor tracks.

Best Suited For:

Open-play gaming suites where high density and high player turnover are expected.

STEM & Academic Cross-Over. Perfect for schools that need the room to act as a coding/digital media lab by day and an esports practice space by night.

Choose the Straight Run if your goal is accessibility and resource optimization. It allows you to introduce more students to gaming, works within tight spatial constraints, and keeps the room highly adaptable.
