My "assigned workspace" (office) is the Soboleff Annex. I primarily teach in the Egan Classroom Wing. Both spaces are vital to my work. |

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...) | Selected: ARRAY(0x15b46e4)
Your survey tool doesn't seem to be working. I'm only able to enter numbers for 2 of the above questions. For what it's worth, my response to all is either a 1 or 2. | Selected: ARRAY(0x15b739c)
Proximity to collections (library) | Selected: ARRAY(0x15ba00c)
None of these are very important. Questions 5 and 6 are more important. |

My laboratory, NSRL 203 lacks temperature control to the extent that my instrumentation is at risk. Too often do I find the temp in that room at 80 degrees or higher. Less frequently, as well as less threatening to my instrumentation, are periods of extreme cold (less than 65 degrees). |

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 |

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. |

A faculty lounge and better food service. |
A research laboratory space that is near both my office and teaching spaces. |
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. |

The rooms need to be cleaned. We need better parking for those who come and go during the day. |
Again, I am a little uneasy about the "university-assigned workspace" euphemism. If you are seriously considering something other than offices, I think it should be called by its name and discussed that way. If I have in any way contributed to a discussion that could end up with that kind of a result, I resent being misled into this survey. |
You left out noon to 2 in question 19 |
