    Ideally, all are 1s but less ideally, you can't be productive if you are too cold or too hot and have no recourse.

    I am in the corner with no view, or windows for natural light and I'm fairly certain we cant alter the temperature.
    Selected: ARRAY(0x15a2bdc)
    Ability to collaborate with others.  If the temperature of the building works appropriately, I would not have to control it.

    Valid Missing Mean
    4 0 NA
    Comments:
    The other cubi dwellers are wonderful and interesting people from a variety of programs. There is nothing about this space that says "quality".
    quite when i need it to be
    Easy to collaborate.  Nice view with lots of light.  I've been in it forever.
    Storage

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

    Valid Missing Mean
    4 0 NA
    Comments:
    Heating system was designed for a classroom and despite repeated (and appreciated) attempts by facilities people, it is always either too cold, too hot AND too windy.
    no window, or natural light, tucked away in the corner.
    Not well laid out in terms of use of the space.  Not near certain key members of my team.
    Lack of privacy and the amount of noise & distractions.  View of ugly courtyard.

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

    Valid Missing Mean
    4 0 NA
    Comments:
    doors
    a window/or some natural light ANYWHERE near my area. Nearest window is on the opposite side of the "technical Services" area
    A sink. (shared, of course)
    Privacy & quiet
  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
    4 0 NA
    Comments:
    A place with healthy and delicious food to eat, to have coffee and pastries and to hang out during breaks. The cafeteria is not any of these and the new brick courtyard will not fulfill the need for a dry, comfortable gathering spot.
    more involvement with student events, as a 'computer guy' i do not get to interact with the students very often outside of "i can't get the printer to work"
    More collaborative spaces.
    A Lawn (opps...too late to hope for that)
  28.  
  29.  What other comments do you have about improving uas work spaces and the overall UAS work place environment?

    Valid Missing Mean
    3 1 NA
    Comments:
    What with converting classrooms to offices, access to staff centers for preparing lunches, doing dishes, getting water have been centralized in rooms with sinks causing noise, traffic, smells and generally disrupting work. There needs ti be a staff/faculty lounge at regular intervals throughout the campus so that someone's work spaces don't turn into another person's kitchen.
    none.
    People have different working styles.  Some people are easily bothered by noise and outside distractions when trying to work on important projects.  A chance to have a quiet work environment would be ideal for many people.
