    My office needs to be set apart with the Library Director's office, like it is presently, because there are times when Staff and Faculty are communicating to the Director or myself about sensitive library policies or challenged patron issues.

    A office space set apart for confidential conversation is more important than a view although I personally would love to have a natural view and light rather than a view of the library.

    far from campus, students, and faculty.
    The view of the library, although important isn't as interesting as a view of Auke Lake but I am fortunate to be able to walk around our campus and the surrounding areas at noon and an occasional work related errand on campus.

    More nutritious and less expensive meals for students, staff and faculty. I used to get together with friends for lunch at Mourant but I hardly ever eat there anymore because it is overpriced and not very healthy. I no longer invite friends to lunch on campus. I also feel sorry for the student who have to. I think that this would address spending more time with colleagues and students.

    Only build on disturbed spaces and keep the campus setting as natural and open to our incredible views as possible.
