    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.
    Selected:
    Window that opens. Not all of my file cabinets fit into my cubicle.
    Selected:
    The view I have of the "improved" courtyard is undesirable.

    Larger break room where we can actually sit down for breaks or lunch and comfy furniture to relax.

    Finish construction projects so there is adequate parking!

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

    Valid Missing Mean
    5 1 NA
    Comments:
    Consistency in the style of furniture/cubicles/desks, artwork on walls, desk treadmills would be awesome!
    More ADA compliance.
    We're good...!
    Faculty need to have offices not cubicles in order to maintain FERPA requirements.
    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.
