    It is quiet and accessible to students and other patrons
    Being able to stand or sit at my desk.
    It is private, yet very close to a highly trafficked student center.
    It's close to students and staff members.

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

    Valid Missing Mean
    5 0 NA
    Comments:
    It is a little small...not a big problem and has no views to the outside
    No privacy, very limited storage for supplies.
    The lack of natural light & poor cell reception.
    No window to the outside.
    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.

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

    Comments:
    Could be a little larger...
    Storage space for supplies (so it is not stacked everywhere)
    Access to windows.
    Window to the outside
    COLOR. Gray is Blah.

  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
    5 0 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.
    Visually appealing spaces
    In and outdoor spaces for meeting with colleagues and students.
    More windows to the outside
    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.

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

    Valid Missing Mean
    4 1 NA
    Comments:
    The library as a whole doesn't have ideal work spaces as several faculty/staff here don't have private offices.
    Consistency in the style of furniture/cubicles/desks, artwork on walls, desk treadmills would be awesome!
    Offer sufficient desirable space for everyone to do away with envy and space battles.
    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.
