    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.

    My glassed-in office space looks out over the Writing Center where I spend most of my time. I have no complaints about my office per se, but the Writing Center is busy and should be assigned a bigger and better space in any major reconfiguration.
    Selected: Somewhat dissatisfied
    We weren't given any real choice; we were told what we were getting and had to adapt.

    It is a little small...not a big problem and has no views to the outside
    No privacy, very limited storage for supplies.
    No window to the outside.
    no window, or natural light, tucked away in the corner.
    The Writing Center it looks out on is too small, windowless, and under-staffed.
    Insufficient storage for files.

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

    Valid Missing Mean

    Comments:
    Could be a little larger...
    Storage space for supplies (so it is not stacked everywhere)
    Window to the outside
    a window/or some natural light ANYWHERE near my area. Nearest window is on the opposite side of the "technical Services" area
    If I looked out over an aesthetic, well-equipped, fully-staffed Writing Center.
    More space.
    Private/confidential space for meetings.

  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:
    I can't really speak to the whole campus as I spend most of my time in the library.  I very much appreciate the beauty and amenities of the library.  Although my office space is small I'm often in other parts of the library so I don't feel confined.
    Visually appealing spaces
    More windows to the outside
    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"
    The only thing I desire is a better-resourced Writing Center.
    Lounge with chairs/couch where we could take breaks away from our office and lay down if needed.
    Student Union Building

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

    Valid Missing Mean
    6 1 NA
    Comments:
    The library as a whole doesn't have ideal work spaces as several faculty/staff here don't have private offices.
    Consistency in the style of furniture/cubicles/desks, artwork on walls, desk treadmills would be awesome!
    Offer sufficient desirable space for everyone to do away with envy and space battles.
    none.
    I only relate to my own corner of the campus most of the time. Overall, I love the direction the outside space is taking and am thrilled about the new dorm. To provide students who live in that building with on-site math and writing consultants would, in my humble opinion, be a brilliant move. I hope you don't mind my taking this opportunity to lobby for a better-resourced Writing Center. I really have no complaints or suggestions regarding my cubicle.
    More ADA compliance.
