    If I could control the heat, that would be marvelous. It is usually about 80 degrees, and that is impossible to be productive in.

  19.  The quality that I like MOST about my current workspace is:

    Valid Missing Mean
    7 0 NA
    Comments:
    natural light
    The low noise level, the adequate amount of space, the ability to talk to and work with students and colleagues in private.
    That it is a private office for advising students and for working uninterrupted by other things that may be going on in the open spaces of the department
    It is my own private office.
    It has a door.
    I can shut my door and work alone, with only a few interruptions
    I can close the door.

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

    Valid Missing Mean
    7 0 NA
    Comments:
    marginal acoustic privacy.  
    My space is adequate.
    Proximity to the construction.  It is loud and affects my ability to concentrate at times.
    I do not have a nice view.
    It is impossibly hot with a noisy heating system that constantly pours heat in.
    I am next to a conference room and a loud colleague, which filters into my workplace.
    Quite a bit of noise from neighboring offices.

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

    Valid Missing Mean
    6 1 NA

    i have a lot of books...
    Nothing abnormal
    large bookshelves
    Large book shelves, looking files, computer, printer and scanner.
    relative silence at times for recording audio, locking files
    I'm cool

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

    Valid Missing Mean
    7 0 NA
    Comments:
    better ability to control temperature.  
    A better decorator
    nothing
    Having a view.
    A window that can help me keep the place cool and with fresh air.
    Being further from the commotion
    A skylight
  26.  
  27.  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
    7 0 NA
    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.    
    A pub
    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.
    Having better parking and a campus that you have more than one entrance.
    Someplace I can eat, visit, and wash dishes (that does not have toilets)
    Less concrete outside, more green space.  Have the faculty in one building, different floors for different departments.
    It is pretty sweet as it is

    Tough question - administrative duties far outweigh the amount of time I have to spend on classes, although I do teach primarily distance.
    none in my "university assigned workspace," but I spend 12 hours a week teaching in a classroom created from one of the offices in the department for online (hybrid) teaching.
    3 - 9 hours

    10 hours of teaching time are spent on campus.  I do all my prep and grading for online teaching on campus as well, which amounts to the rest of the week spent on campus.
