It is private. |
Quiet area with privacy (office with a door). Nice view. Close to colleagues |
Privacy for discussion with students/colleagues. |
It is my own private office. |
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 |
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. |

My space is adequate. |
The window doesn't open and it's often much too warm in the building. |
Very close to noisy student use area. |
I do not have a nice view. |
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. |
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. |

A pub |
Storage for the misc. junk that gets stuffed in hallways, classrooms, offices, and every other available space! |
less construction. |
Faculty lounge. |
Having better parking and a campus that you have more than one entrance. |
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. |
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 |
better parking |

This varies drastically by semester. This semester I am spending approximately 8-10 hours a week working on a distance course because I only have 1 distance course this semester. Other semesters it may be more. |
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. |
It varies by semester. |

Comments:
I would like to make sure that there is sufficient faculty involvement in any workplace planning and decisions. |
Keep faculty in their private offices. |
Maintaining private offices in order to teach, work in a scholarly manner and collaborate with others is important in the academic setting. |
Improved communication. Better planning and support with appropriate supplies when moving is necessary. |
Each tenure track faculty needs to have, at the very least, secure, lockable, private offices. |
