For this Resource of the Week, we are highlighting a study room! The Chaffee Study Room is one of the multiple study rooms found on our top floor here at the AML. The Chaffee is sat off from the main hallway, so if you need somewhere to truly focus, the Chaffee would be our top pick with its minimalist decor and quiet atmosphere.

This study room and all others are currently first come first serve! So, stop by any time and it will likely be open for public use. Just don’t forget to flip the sign to remind others you’re in there!
