<p class="MsoNormal">Our study rooms were added in a remodel, and the only ventilation is a slotted grate in the door. I am told these rooms were hot and stuffy pre-pandemic. One of our faculty, an epidemiologist, suggested that hepa air filters might make
these study rooms safer. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Do you have ventilation-challenged study rooms? What are you planning to do with them? Thanks for considering, <br clear="all">
