Directions; Find the elevators in FedEx Global on the ground floor (note: coffee shop on ground floor!), go to the 4th floor. There are two parts of the rooftop, one to the right (with beehives) and one straight ahead. I went to the one straight ahead.
I had read about this location in Sophia Raspanti’s “11 Hidden Study Spots To Check Out!” post on Carolina Housing, so I was dying to check it out. How can I resist a rooftop? It’s pretty bare-bones, metal chairs and tables that are somewhat weathered, and there is only one outlet, with no power. The rooftop has a wall so it’s hard to see much off the edge, although the trees are nice. It’s reasonably quiet, too. The wifi was spotty, and no power outside, so if you have an aging laptop like I do, you’ve gotta not use power-hungry apps! The garden wasn’t so great, it didn’t look tended. There was a beehive or two, which was nice, but I didn’t inspect them closely. There is a small enclosed lobby right when you get out of the elevator, I believe this has power and a couple of tables, but there’s a conference room right there, so you might get interrupted if there’s an event. I noticed that while I was there, in the morning, it was nice and cool in the shade. I believe this is a west-facing patio, so I’d imagine by midday it’ll get sunny, so it might be hotter in the afternoon.
