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.

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. |

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

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 |
Some of the faculty offices are not very good because of lighting, locking and proximity to colleagues. |
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. |
