My university-assigned workspace is currently IDEAL.

Selected: ARRAY(0x17026cc)

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...)

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
13	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.

professional ambiance and beautiful view

Privacy for discussion with students/colleagues.

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

The window and the door to the outside.

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

I can shut my door and work alone, with only a few interruptions

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

I can close the door.

Window that I can open.

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

My own space and quiet.

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

Valid	Missing	Mean

Comments:

My space is adequate.

thin walls

Very close to noisy student use area.

It's perfect.

Thin walls; it is easy to hear conversations going on next door.

No immediate access to a printer or photocopier.

I am next to a conference room and a loud colleague, which filters into my workplace.

I would like the ability to control the temperature.

Quite a bit of noise from neighboring offices.

Often noisy.

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

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

Valid	Missing	Mean
11	2	NA

Comments:

Nothing abnormal

large bookshelves, locking files, wall space

Large bookshelves, desk, file cabinets.

Large bookshelves and professional and personal belongings.

Beyond those already listed, none.

I need locking files and book cases.

I'm cool

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

None

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

Valid	Missing	Mean
13	0	NA

Comments:

A better decorator

mac computer

Ability to control temperature and light fixtures.

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

A better view.

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

Being further from the commotion

A desirable view would make the office more inviting.

A skylight

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.

None

A window with natural light

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
13	0	NA

Comments:

A pub

faculty lounge

Faculty lounge.

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

Better eating options.

A faculty lounge and better food service.

Less concrete outside, more green space. Have the faculty in one building, different floors for different departments.

Adequate parking in maintained lots would be welcomed.

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.

None

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.
