SnapCab Study Pod
In September a new addition to the Bryn Athyn
College campus was unveiled—or rather, built—
under the curious eye of students studying in the
library. A glass-walled study pod was erected within
the span of only a few hours, situated on the main
floor of the Swedenborg Library between the stacks
and the public computers. This state-of-the-art
pod was donated to the College by Glenn Bostock,
CEO of SnapCab, a company that specializes
in paneling systems. Just one of the innovative
products that Glenn and his team provide to schools,
museums, and businesses, the study pod is a
generous gift that BAC students now utilize daily.
This study pod allows students to work
collaboratively and distraction-free in an open
workspace environment that still provides the
privacy needed to focus on the task at hand. The
SnapCab pod is moveable and includes furniture,
lighting, power, ventilation, a tempered glass door,
and acoustic paneling to provide soundproofing.
The mobility and size of these pods allows for an
easy fit into possible future locations, such as the
Doering Center, residence halls, and Pendleton Hall.
Thanks to Glenn and SnapCab, the College now
enjoys this beautiful and highly useful addition to
campus! To see the study pod in person, visit the
Swedenborg Library and take a look during business
hours (brynathyn.edu/swedenborg-library).
