    Ventilation. I wish our windows opened.

    Valid Missing Mean
    4 1 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.
    More windows to the outside
    a student union center. One place where students know presentations will be held, meetings, fairs, and gatherings. This would really help with a workplace setting because then we as staff would know where students would be.
    Being able to have a confidential conversation without being overheard.
  28.  
  29.  What other comments do you have about improving uas work spaces and the overall UAS work place environment?

    Valid Missing Mean
    3 2 NA
    Comments:
    The library as a whole doesn't have ideal work spaces as several faculty/staff here don't have private offices.
    Offer sufficient desirable space for everyone to do away with envy and space battles.
    Faculty need to have offices not cubicles in order to maintain FERPA requirements.
