GroupSpot is located on the second floor of JPL, near the Information Desk. It's the perfect space for working on group projects.
Using GroupSpot
Thanks for following these guidelines to keep GroupSpot productive and pleasant for all.
- Tables are not movable - attempting to move them will damage computer cables
