Hosting the Bear Necessities Market Satellite Location

The long-awaited study pods are here at last! They're great for making phone calls, attending remote classes, interviewing remotely for jobs, or getting some quiet studying done.

Reserve them here up to a week in advance for up to four hours per day.

You can still pop in if you find one free, just know you'll have to leave if someone shows up with a reservation.

Starting this semester, law students can reserve a conference room online.
