The lounge is located on the Paragould campus next to the coffee shop and bookstore. The lounge is equipped with multiple computers, gaming programs, and gaming systems. Students are encouraged to use this space to relax and spend time with friends between and after classes. BRTC also uses the lounges to host gaming tournaments for students, they plan on having the next tournament in Paragould later in the spring semester.

To unveil the newest addition, Student Services held a grand opening for students, faculty, and staff. Students were able to play with the new systems, eat some pizza, and enter a giveaway for a Black Hawk Bucks card.
