Quiet space with few distractions to focus on work

Selected: ARRAY(0x156e83c)

Figuring out by now that "university-assigned workspace" means office (or it should - if it means something else, I don't like the euphemism), it's not an issue of proximity for me, but first of all confidentiality for students, and second of all peace and quiet to get work done. (I see now, this is the next question...)

Again, survey tool only allows entry for one question. I'd answer 1 to all except personal file cabinets and for that I'd answer 3

Selected: ARRAY(0x157c77c)

All of the above are top priorities (except I do not have much in the way of specialized professional equipment). I do not see these as personal preferences, but as necessary components to my job.

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).

Selected: Very satisfied

I have switched offices three times in the four plus years I've been at UAS and feel this is the best fit for me. If I could change anything, it would definitely be the addition of a window with natural light, preferably with a view.

The quality that I like MOST about my current workspace is:

Valid	Missing	Mean
17	0	NA

Comments:

The low noise level, the adequate amount of space, the ability to talk to and work with students and colleagues in private.

Privacy for discussion with students/colleagues.

Quiet with lots of space

area to be able to meet with students and work with them on problems; natural light

It's in the Soboleff Annex - a calm space, good for meeting colleagues, students, and has a nice view.

Proximity of classrooms, students, colleagues

My space is private enough to conduct a distance learning class, quiet enough to work, and close to other coworkers.

Anderson office - proximity to chemistry lab (309)

I can close the door.

the view

Window that I can open.

I'm close to the people and materials I work with. Also, I have a window.

proximity to the library public areas (I can keep my door open directly to facilitate student walk in), space for adding personal touch (walls to decorate), space for plants.

Space and privacy.

My own space and quiet.

The quality that I like LEAST about my current workspace is:

Valid	Missing	Mean
17	0	NA

Comments:

My space is adequate.

Very close to noisy student use area.

It is far from campus and overall is not a very comfortable work environment

temperature is not controllable. It is sometimes like a sauna if I leave the door closed.

No immediate access to a printer or photocopier.

Hike upstairs and downstairs to access staff and xerox machine and parking

I would like the ability to control the temperature.

none wrt AD space

Quite a bit of noise from neighboring offices.

the overhead fluorescent lighting

Often noisy.

No door, but given choice between window and door, I'll take the window.

lack of natural light

Feels a bit isolated at times.

What SPECIAL NEEDS--such as large bookshelves, locking files, etc.--if any, do you need in your workspace?

Valid	Missing	Mean
15	2	NA

Comments:

Nothing abnormal

Large bookshelves, desk, file cabinets.

Carpet and new paint for the walls

large bookshelf; one set of locking file cabinets; large desk area to work with students; enough room for a chair for me and up to 2 other chairs for when people come into the office to talk

Beyond those already listed, none.

storage of scientific research equipment

I need locking files and book cases.

none wrt AD space

I'm cool

large bookshelves, locking files

Bookshelves, filing cabinets, reasonable space for one or two student to sit comfortably and speak privately, if necessary.

I work in a department that processes all the physical materials passing in and out of the library collection. This can be a lot of items (for instance a donation of hundreds of items) and also large items (for instance large maps). I need to be able to keep several book trucks in or near my area, as does the staff in my department

standing desk option,

My office currently has all the shelves, etc. that I need. I have one large bookcase, one medium sized bookshelf, a desk and small table, a file cabinet.

What is special about bookshelves, and lockable files? I a lot of table surface space.

What ONE THING would make your current workspace more inviting and appealing?

Valid	Missing	Mean
16	1	NA

Comments:

A better decorator

Ability to control temperature and light fixtures.

I like my current space

Lighting other than fluorescent bulbs, or perhaps replacing them with full spectrum range bulbs (anti-SAD).

proximity to central gathering place for colleagues

A desirable view would make the office more inviting.

none wrt AD space

A skylight

a different light source other than the overhead fluorescent lights

Availability of a kitchen sink; washing dishes in the bathroom is nasty.

It would help if I cleaned it up! Having a door or higher privacy wall would be nice but I am used to what I have.

updated overhead lighting or natural light

I wish it opened into a common area. This would make the office feel more secure, it would allow me to keep my door open in winter and would allow for better air circulation, and would create a space to interact with colleagues over coffee breaks, etc.

A window with natural light

a window

A functioning thermostat

What ONE THING would make the overall campus workplace setting more inviting--a place that you'd like to spend more time with colleagues and students?

Valid	Missing	Mean

Comments:

A pub

Faculty lounge.

I actually like the setup where I am now. I enjoy working in my department.

A faculty lounge and better food service.

Faculty gathering place

Adequate parking in maintained lots would be welcomed.

A research laboratory space that is near both my office and teaching spaces.

It is pretty sweet as it is

I am very fortunate to have such a nice office; I am definitely in the minority. I would love a few places to sit or eat lunch/snacks outdoors in a green or grassy area (NOT in the horrible bricked up space where greenery has been largely eliminated.

Things that would be nice: student union type space with a fireplace; decent array of vending machines; not losing any more parking spaces.

standardization of furnishing finishes

Break rooms / lunch rooms. Right now I generally end up eating lunch by myself. A convenient and comfortable break room would improve camaraderie.

A faculty lounge / meeting space / presentation space would be great. However, if there is a decision to be made for available funds, individual offices for every faculty member should be available before any money is spent on any other improvements.

more offices for faculty
