Alienware Academy, Arena & HQ
This is my entry for the Alienware Shape The Horizon Contest. It’s an ESports Arena, Academy and the Alienware headquarters in one building.
Arena:
There aren’t many ESports Arena’s around the world, but this is one of them, probably the most eyecatching of them all. The Arena is shaped like the Alienware Logo and will light up at night. There is room for about 1000 people inside the arena (fictional). There are 2 entrances, one with 4 sub-entrances and one with 2 sub-entrances. Entrance 2 also features an entrance for disabled visitors. Other features are: a presslounge, ticket machines, entrance gates and escalators.
Headquarters:
The HQ is based in the tallest of the two towers and the building next to it. The entrance is quite overwhelming, since a level of the building is “hanging” above it. There also is a large outside area with tables and plants where the employees can relax. The observation deck on the 21st floor offers a spectecular view over the surroundings and the building itself. Next to the offices and also under the press lounge are manufacturing and assembling areas where the well known Alienware products are made. The Alienware truck dock features two(, surprise surprise,) truck docks and a door to the assembling hall. Other features are: Alienware “tripod”/”triangle” on the assembling hall facade (blue), roof-window on top of the entrance and a facade cleaning system.
Academy:
The academy is located in the smallest of the two towers. This is where young minds are taught how to make world class products by experienced teachers and are offered internships in the Alienware HQ and assembling hall. This can be part of your university or an independant adademy. Other features are: Alienware “Steam Machine” shaped entrance and another observation deck.
All in all it’s THE building to represent Alienware. The building is something business partners will remember visiting and ESports fans will love because of the great arena. Also the students at the academy, maybe in 20 years the computer-geniuses of the world, will look back to the great time they had here. Shape the horizon, you say? That’s something this building does too, the two towers can be seen from far out.

CREDITS:
I couldn’t have made this without Alex24 (see co-authors)
He imported the model in CSL, because my game crashed (due to low RAM) when I tried it. He also helped me fix some bugs. Check out his mods too, they’re awesome!
