Good Study Spots? (inside)
I used to study at the union a lot in the winter, but with COVID I've been trying to stay away from such large gatherings of people. Now that it's too cold for the quad, where are some good places to get some studying in on campus?

M-F krannert center lobby has classroom desks spaced out for study spaces. Some have power. Available 8am-10pm - must enter by 8pm. Goodwin ave top of stairs, blue and orange parking are the entrances open at this time. No active eating and drinking (like a meal) in this space. Masks on of course.
EDIT: I have not been in there for a long while but I am told part of the lobby (south end - Oregon upper terrace ramped street entrance) is used for testing now (tent outside was removed and testing moved inside) so there are fewer spots than there once were. The test area is draped off so there are not people walking through the study area to be tested. They have to enter/exit via south doors used for testing - not for Metzo or study.
But I suspect there are still 20+ spaces there. Intermetzo cafe is open but only for carry out at this time. Can't get food and take it to eat at study desks. I *think* you can lift mask for a sip of a water bottle now and then. Best check with the local staff you will check in with. They are just classroom desks so no big tables to spread out on. Sorry.
