Zones Club Chair
- Smaller, rather than larger, tables are better
○ [I don’t like] a huge table that I have to share
○ We need more individual desks; groups are loud and disruptive to others and this is supposed to be
a quiet space
○ Not a fan of chairs with small desks; like to spread out with textbooks and laptop. Prefer a table.
○ People will talk in groups
○ Groups are always too loud and never shut up when asked
