    It is nice and spacious. Decorated with plants and pictures to my liking. I have a great waiting area for students in front of my office.  
    Selected:
    If only parking was enforced in the handicapped area and fire lanes; never has been for the 10 years I've been here. VERY FRUSTRATING when able-bodied folks park there. Unfortunately it appears it's going to take a tragedy to get this enforced.

    Space
    Private office
    It's close to students and staff members.
    It is a private office which enables me to do concentrated work or behind closed doors and is conveniently located in the middle of the department with all other offices (faculty other staff and leadership in close proximity!  
    Handicapped parking area next to office (although unenforced so others park there all the time :(  )

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

    Valid Missing Mean
    5 1 NA
    Comments:
    far from campus, students, and faculty.
    Lack of proximity to all my staff / general lack of co-location among all staff & faculty.  Lack of common space.
    No window to the outside.
    No access to natural light. It is located in the center of the building with no window.
    Insufficient storage for files.

    Valid Missing Mean
    5 1 NA
    Comments:
    on campus
    A complete redesign of all offices & work spaces so the layout makes more sense. Soboleff is awkward and feels uninviting.
    Window to the outside
    Little windows for additional light?
    More space.
  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?

    More common areas for staff - as in, a real room and not the hallway.
    More windows to the outside
    We use the conference room for breaks and gatherings. If the cafeteria was better and looked nicer, maybe we would actually leave the department for lunch breaks.  
    Lounge with chairs/couch where we could take breaks away from our office and lay down if needed.

  29.  What other comments do you have about improving uas work spaces and the overall UAS work place environment?

    Private office for staff who rank above admin asst, and all faculty.  Conference room for Arts & Sciences.  Kitchenette for Arts & Sciences.  Co-location among staff & faculty (instead of being spread out in 6 buildings).
    Offer sufficient desirable space for everyone to do away with envy and space battles.
    More ADA compliance.
