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. |

Privacy |
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. |
area to be able to meet with students and work with them on problems; natural light |
Ability to conduct dirty and noisy fabrication. |
Quiet and private to meet with students, other faculty, and to hold distance (Elluminate or other) sessions. |
The ability to accommodate project and small meeting space. |

It is easily accessible to students and colleagues. |

Lack of light/view |
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. |
temperature is not controllable. It is sometimes like a sauna if I leave the door closed. |
Obnoxious lighting, lack of window, inability to control the temperature, limited size. |
It's usually cold - but that isn't much of a problem as it's easy to deal with. |
It can only accommodate the desk in one direction. The space is tight. |
the overhead fluorescent lighting |
open room with ill fitting desks and space |
When leaving work it is difficult to enter Egan Hwy. north in the heavy traffic. Sometimes requiring as much as a 15 min. wait. |
no window / natural light |

It would be great to have a meeting room for our department. |
I actually like the setup where I am now. I enjoy working in my department. |
A proper, dedicated art gallery |
Student union (student activity center), faculty lounge, accessible walk around lake. |
better parking |
an old time library room with a fireplace and soft chairs. |
more offices for faculty |

Comments:
student access to faculty is underrated by university personnel, but it would significantly improve service, retention, and learning, all part of the UAS mission |
Can't think of anything that would apply to me. I really am quite happy with what I have. Really! |
It would be nice to think that these opportunities to voice our space concerns are actually effective. |
Improved communication. Better planning and support with appropriate supplies when moving is necessary. |
the windows could be washed a little more often. |
