Situated in the Third Quad of Jesus College's central Oxford site, the AFK
Esports Suite has been established at Staircase with the repurposed and
refurbished former IT rooms. This suite caters to all OUGES members, allowing
University gamers to train and compete in esports leagues with peers from other
academic institutions. Beyond gaming, the facility offers top-notch computer
resources for student workshops covering coding, CGI design, and artificial
intelligence technologies.
AFK, a talent and attention marketing agency
founded by Oxford University alumnus Matthew Woods, collaborated
closely with OUGES to secure partnerships supporting the suite's launch. The
space is equipped with 20 high-powered PCs, monitors, and ergonomic
furniture provided by partners NZXT, Scan Computers, and
Viewsonic.
The official launch event for the Suite will take place on
December 12th, 2023 from 16:00 featuring an evening of
networking, talks and drinks.
Free tickets for individuals wishing to attend the event can be obtained here
