About

The Duke Game Lab is a hub for University scholars across disciplines to come together for the collective engagement and study of gaming as a cultural product, pedagogical tool, and a means of promoting analytical and strategic thinking.

The Lab is the collective endeavor of faculty across multiple disciplines — such as Art History & Visual Studies, Computational Media, Arts & Cultures, Computer Science, Romance Languages, and others — who have come together to imagine the growing place of gaming and game studies at Duke over the coming years.

The room is equipped with popular gaming consoles — from Microsoft Xbox to Sony PlayStation to Nintendo Switch — as well as a growing collection of board and card games, and several high-end computers and monitors to give those using the facility an immersive gaming experience.

The Game Lab is located in Link Classroom 6.
