    Even thought we are the biggest school, we do not have a true kitchenette - we have to clean our dishes in the bathroom which is disgusting. We also do not have a conference room.  
    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.

    The space wouldn't be bad if people who are frequently on conference calls or have meetings have more of their own space instead of being in a shared one.
    Selected: Somewhat satisfied
    I'm fairly comfortable where I am but feel bad for the faculty and advisers who do not have appropriate private offices or with offices with no windows.
    Selected: Somewhat dissatisfied
    We weren't given any real choice; we were told what we were getting and had to adapt.
    Selected: Somewhat satisfied
    My work group is fragmented.  Would love to be more co-located.

    Large Windows
    I have sufficient desk space for what I need.
    Being able to stand or sit at my desk.
    Space
    It's close to students and staff members.
    Proximity to faculty and staff.
    Handicapped parking area next to office (although unenforced so others park there all the time :(  )
    Enough personal and shared space.  Working in close proximity w other SOE staff. Plenty of natural light & great view.
    Easy to collaborate.  Nice view with lots of light.  I've been in it forever.
    It's near the best parking lot on campus.

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

    Valid Missing Mean
    10 1 NA
    Comments:
    No privacy
    Loud coworkers in the shared space. You can't escape the sound when you need to.
    No privacy, very limited storage for supplies.
    far from campus, students, and faculty.
    No window to the outside.
    Zero privacy
    Insufficient storage for files.
    N/A
    Not well laid out in terms of use of the space.  Not near certain key members of my team.
    It's cold in the winter, and I have no door--I deal with the most confidential issues in the office, aside from Mike... :O

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

    Valid Missing Mean
    9 2 NA
    Comments:
    More of an open space that isn't divided by tall cubicle walls. I'm the only one in my space that faces towards the door. Everyone else has their back to the door which seems like it is not very inviting to people entering the office.
    Storage space for supplies (so it is not stacked everywhere)
    on campus
    Window to the outside
    It would be great if we had some sort of break room.  I end up eating at my desk a lot.
    More space.
    N/A
    A sink. (shared, of course)
    Floor lamps. For sure.
  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
    9 2 NA
    Comments:
    Not sure
    Visually appealing spaces
    NA
    More windows to the outside
    Faculty are the heart of the university - happy faculty, happy campus.
    Lounge with chairs/couch where we could take breaks away from our office and lay down if needed.
    Finish construction projects so there is adequate parking!
    More collaborative spaces.
    More food options and pillows.
  28.  
  29.  What other comments do you have about improving uas work spaces and the overall UAS work place environment?

    Valid Missing Mean
    8 3 NA
    Comments:
    Departments shouldn't be so split up. Appropriate positions should be grouped together in a space if space needs to be utilized more efficiently (i.e. admin staff in an open area with faculty and advisers in a place with a closeable door/more soundproof.
    Consistency in the style of furniture/cubicles/desks, artwork on walls, desk treadmills would be awesome!
    NA
    Offer sufficient desirable space for everyone to do away with envy and space battles.
    Why on earth did the ability to drive through campus go away??? Infuriating!
    More ADA compliance.
    We're good...!
    Please remember that we can always back up files online--we don't really need to use all this paper!! I have a stack of 20 phone books that no one wants. They're brand new!
