The Main Building can be your main destination

Past the frosted glass door, a softly lit room with warm wood accents opens up, becoming the study spot you did not realize you were looking for.

At the College of St. Benedict campus, in the far back of campus, the Main Building is where most social sciences and STEM majors go. Anyone can step inside and make use of its quieter spaces. On the first floor, Room 102 offers a small study area with a table with eight chairs at its center, perfect for focusing. The room also includes four sofas, two being single-seaters and the others being double-seaters. By the walls, there are three lamps and a chandelier that illuminates warm light, so much of its original charm can be felt.

As classes are in session right next door and the room is near the main entrance, you will notice the foot traffic and noises during the day. After classes finish, the space changes into a calm place perfect for concentrating. With different seating and a central table, Room 102 gives you a variety of ways to get comfortable while working on assignments. If you prefer studying in softer, low-light study environments, this space will feel just right.

For anyone who prefers studying alone or with a small group, this space offers the comfort of a bedroom without the distractions. The outlets are located by the sofas so if you plan to work at the tables, choose a seat near them. The building’s location is further away from the other buildings, so that makes it easier to stay focused, especially if you are someone who tends to chat with friends you pass by.

If you are looking for a place that helps you settle and get things done, this spot might just become your new destination.
