If I could control the heat, that would be marvelous. It is usually about 80 degrees, and that is impossible to be productive in.

Selected: ARRAY(0x15c4bb4)

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...)

Selected: ARRAY(0x158ba8c)

a space where I could take students to do art/cooking projects.

Selected: ARRAY(0x158f1cc)

None of these are very important. Questions 5 and 6 are more important.

A Bullpen would absolutely not be appropriate

Selected: ARRAY(0x15c1f9c)

I worked for several years in a cubicle in Hendrickson and it was truly a disaster. Students were very upset at the lack of confidential private space and I found I could not do my writing or grading with all the conversations going on.

Selected: ARRAY(0x15bef74)

A full closed door office crucial, one that accommodate all of these needs. At present, I don't have the room for the kind of file cabinets I need, but the top three needs expressed here are met.

Selected: ARRAY(0x15c364c)

Quiet and private space is necessary for any faculty member who advises students. In education, we do a lot of distance courses and we need quiet private areas to do this. If they are not available, we will have to conduct our business off campus.

Selected: ARRAY(0x158b9ac)

all of these items are pretty equal in importance.

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

Valid	Missing	Mean
20	0	NA

Comments:

natural light

the view

That it is a private office for advising students and for working uninterrupted by other things that may be going on in the open spaces of the department

Privacy for discussion with students/colleagues.

Even though small, it's a private office that I can hold confidential conversations in. I also can keep those tools around me within arms reach that I use constantly.

Privacy and room for conferencing with students, colleagues or staff.

Everything. Cannot specify any one quality

The private space with a door. It's very important to me to have a room I can work in with privacy. I very much like the window too.

My window

Privacy; ability to close the door.

It has a door.

Ability to conduct dirty and noisy fabrication.

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

Proximity of classrooms, students, colleagues

Window that I can open.

It is small but all my instructional and research things fit within the space.

It is easily accessible to students and colleagues.

Space and privacy.

Space to keep my professional resources organized.

View, light, control temperature, ability to have private conversations

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

Valid	Missing	Mean
18	2	NA

Comments:

marginal acoustic privacy.

the proximity to shared copy machine and printer. A bit noisy

Proximity to the construction. It is loud and affects my ability to concentrate at times.

Very close to noisy student use area.

It's SMALL comparatively.

It's perfect.

There isn't anything I do not like about it

Students can see into my office. I normally work with my door open, but there are times when it would be helpful to be here working without being visible.

the chalkboard walls

Very crowded in shared areas.

It is impossibly hot with a noisy heating system that constantly pours heat in.

Obnoxious lighting, lack of window, inability to control the temperature, limited size.

No immediate access to a printer or photocopier.

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

Often noisy.

There is no natural light and there is no private kitchenette nearby.

When leaving work it is difficult to enter Egan Hwy. north in the heavy traffic. Sometimes requiring as much as a 15 min. wait.

Feels a bit isolated at times.

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

Comments:

better ability to control temperature.

nothing

Ability to control temperature and light fixtures.

A bit more space.

It's perfect for conferencing with students, colleagues or staff.

Can't think of anything

matching furniture

thicker walls so that I don't hear other people's conversations

A window that can help me keep the place cool and with fresh air.

Better lighting

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

proximity to central gathering place for colleagues

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

Natural light.

different lighting.

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.

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
20	0	NA

Comments:

equitable distribution of good office space (I moved 6 times before landing in my office!)--altho' more shared social spaces--a real cafe, better food services with pleasant atmosphere--would rank a close second.

Its fine as is

a more comfortable coffee shop area. I would like to see more comfortable furniture near Spikes in the common space outside the library. That has the potential for an active meeting area but doesn't have a comfortable feel about it. It has a great view and could be much better with chairs and couches that would invite people sitting and talking.

Faculty lounge.

More IT Bandwidth, more bandwidth, more bandwidth..........

Ability to drive through the campus as was the case prior -- this would make it easier to spend more time with others.

Can't think of anything

It would be great to have a meeting room for our department.

A good place to eat, seriously. I never eat the Mourant cafeteria.

natural full spectrum lighting

Someplace I can eat, visit, and wash dishes (that does not have toilets)

A proper, dedicated art gallery

A faculty lounge and better food service.

Faculty gathering place

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.

Separate areas for eating. Egan library has a great kitchen space with a table, couches, fridge, microwave and stove. And there is always coffee. It is a place where I can rest between classes. I would also love it if this space were available for use during class times so that I could do special cultural events with my students.

an old time library room with a fireplace and soft chairs.

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

More natural opportunity to interact with other faculty on campus (like faculty lounge).
