    I would like to make sure that there is sufficient faculty involvement in any workplace planning and decisions.
    A faculty lounge would be very nice.
    It would be nice to think that these opportunities to voice our space concerns are actually effective.
    Group faculty offices by discipline Add faculty lounge for interdisciplinary interactions
    Improved communication. Better planning and support with appropriate supplies when moving is necessary.
