Philadelphia-based Nerd Street Gamers has announced that it plans to open what it claims is the “world’s first esports industry campus.”
Known as “The Block,” the 40,000 square-foot facility will become the new headquarters of the esports infrastructure company.
Alongside acting as the headquarters for Nerd Street Gamers, The Block will feature broadcast studios, educational space, dedicated training centres, and a Localhost facility capable of hosting amateur esports events.
John Fazio, Founder and CEO of Nerd Street Gamers, spoke on the facility in a release: “Not only are we creating one of the industry’s largest gaming landmarks with The Block, but we’re also building a home for every member of Philadelphia’s gaming community and contributing a vital element to the redevelopment of North Broad Street.
