Searching for that perfect study spot? Need a whiteboard, outlet for your laptop, access to a printer? Looking for a room to fit a study group of 10? A space with natural lighting, close to food, and absolute quiet? Got a craving for a late-night meal? Need a camera for a class project? Scout can help.
