Yea I get that, but is it the purpose of the main library in the center of campus? In fact UCLA has an entire library (Southern Regional Library) that is dedicated to rare and old books. It's completely empty and is where I would go to study lol |

I don't understand "student centers". You'd imagine its a place to do studenting - study! Things like group projects, discussion, debates, ect.
Instead, you're quite likely to see an arcade with the latest VR consoles at the student center.
Video gaming, and the like, are activities that non-students also enjoy. Therefore, there is no reason for the university to provide them. Presumably there are arcades else where in the city.
But, call me old fashioned I guess :S
[1] The point of the library warehouse isn't to put the near long-tail a day away. It's to put the far part of long-tail a day away. The Main Library should contain most every long tail search any researcher should ever need. The warehouse, therefore, has stuff that is more likely to rot before it is cracked (great carbon sink, to boot)
