The Penn State community is invited to attend an open house of the new Educational Gaming Commons Lab September 2 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. in 6A Findlay Commons at the East Halls, University Park. The lab is in the basement and can be accessed via the northeast stairwell. Equipment in the lab includes eight PCs arranged in groups of four for team gaming, as well as an Xbox 360, a Playstation 3, a Nintendo Wii, five 52-inch LCD panels, a ceiling-mounted projector, and a whiteboard. Faculty can reserve the lab to use for course-related gaming activities and research. When it is not reserved, students are welcome to use the lab. Fall and spring semester lab hours will be 8:00 a.m. to midnight, seven days a week. During the open house, hourly prizes will be awarded.
