    My laboratory, NSRL 203 lacks temperature control to the extent that my instrumentation is at risk.  Too often do I find the temp in that room at 80 degrees or higher.  Less frequently, as well as less threatening to my instrumentation, are periods of extreme cold (less than 65 degrees).

    It can only accommodate the desk in one direction. The space is tight.

    student access to faculty is underrated by university personnel, but it would significantly improve service, retention, and learning, all part of the UAS mission
    Keep faculty in their private offices.
    Can't think of anything that would apply to me. I really am quite happy with what I have. Really!
    Maintaining private offices in order to teach, work in a scholarly manner and collaborate with others is important in the academic setting.
    the windows could be washed a little more often.
