    Space to teach online classes privately.
    Selected: ARRAY(0x1574e84)
    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(0x157352c)
    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.
