Pretty sure this used to be the Chicago Innovation Exchange, but a Polsky must have donated a wad of cash or something. Unclear.
This is a fairly good spot to study in in Hyde Park. Very much a 2017 (or 2015? whenever they did this thing) renovated type look inside-- clean lines, big windows, funky plastic furniture in exciting shapes and colors.
(Sidenote: UofC seems really invested in buying interesting new chairs. No building remodel is complete without some sexy yellow chairs. Or maybe a building remodel is just sexy new chairs but the new chairs are so effective with their sexiness that no one even complains about where did all of our cash go?)
Large co-working space (or, let's just call it what it is, big room with desks) with plenty of rolling white boards and power outlets and exposed brick. Also a Greenline coffee shop inside.
Only problem with this place is that the working area gets no sunlight. So it's like being in a cozy woodbrick pizza oven. If that's your studying/getting shit done aesthetic, all power to ya. Personally I like a little sunlight so I can be reminded of what I'm missing out on outside of my computer screen.
