the walls in my cubicle go all the way to the ceiling so it might be considered a private office. i have no windows. including definitions of terms in surveys is a good idea if you want accurate data.

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. |
Clean rooms and meeting rooms-the rooms are dusty and the tables filthy |
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. |
Common area (fridge, microwave) with seating for lunch. |
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. |
More natural opportunity to interact with other faculty on campus (like faculty lounge). |

Comments:
The rooms need to be cleaned. We need better parking for those who come and go during the day. |
I'm also concerned about the classroom shortage. Teaching discussion classes in the media room is counter-productive. |
We really need a kitchen space in Soboleff and the kitchen space that's available in the library in Egan needs to be advertised to faculty who teach in Egan. |
Faculty need private offices--even if they are smaller than currently provided. Cubicles or shared spaces are not acceptable. |
