    Valid Missing Mean
    6 1 NA
    Comments:
    That I have a private office for focused, uninterrupted work. I am able to meet with other staff, faculty and the Dean at any time of the day to discuss issues and projects. I also have enough space to layout projects and brainstorming. I collaborate on projects with faculty and other departments and it is important to me to be close to these their offices for work, meetings, and questions that arise on a daily basis.
    Desk area is large enough to lay out tasks. Sufficient cabinets for manuals and resource materials.
    quite when i need it to be
    Enough personal and shared space.  Working in close proximity w other SOE staff. Plenty of natural light & great view.
    The set up of my cubicle.
    Easy to collaborate.  Nice view with lots of light.  I've been in it forever.

    no view and no control of the small window in my space. Also temp is an issue its not consistant
    Nothing
    I can hear everyone talking. Very disruptive. Desks areas set up so that you are approached from behind. Very BAD. No flexibility in rearranging furniture to fit personal desires without having to contact the movers. No place to hang a coat.
    no window, or natural light, tucked away in the corner.
    N/A
    I'm not have a confidential conversation without being overheard.
    Not well laid out in terms of use of the space.  Not near certain key members of my team.

    Valid Missing Mean

    Comments:
    A better cafeteria and a cozy coffee shop, where students, faculty, and staff wanted to purchase items from and hang out.
    Add a photo mural of the Juneau mountains to the Registrar/ Financial Aid wall. Everyone knows they are at the University of Alaska Southeast, especially by the time they have entered the building.
    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"
    Finish construction projects so there is adequate parking!
    Being able to have a confidential conversation without being overheard.
    More collaborative spaces.

    Valid Missing Mean

    Comments:
    There is no area where we can have meetings. Also no true break room. We have to eat lunch at our desk or go to the cafeteria. This means we are interrupted with work issues and might as well not be on lunch. There is no where to take a break form work!!!!
    I'm grateful to have the office space I have.
    A storage room that is adequate is essential. A conference room should be required for all office areas that use the cubicle format to allow for audio conferences and department meetings.
    none.
    We're good...!
    Faculty need to have offices not cubicles in order to maintain FERPA requirements.
