I need to be close to the sea water lab

Selected: ARRAY(0x151b85c)

Natural light and privacy are most important. Proximity to people in my own department is not important, but I do want to be close to other _faculty_

If I could control the heat, that would be marvelous. It is usually about 80 degrees, and that is impossible to be productive in.

Selected: ARRAY(0x152182c)

Figuring out by now that "university-assigned workspace" means office (or it should - if it means something else, I don't like the euphemism), it's not an issue of proximity for me, but first of all confidentiality for students, and second of all peace and quiet to get work done. (I see now, this is the next question...)

Selected: ARRAY(0x15265c4)

Quiet area for writing and grading papers.

A Bullpen would absolutely not be appropriate

Selected: ARRAY(0x1522c34)

I worked for several years in a cubicle in Hendrickson and it was truly a disaster. Students were very upset at the lack of confidential private space and I found I could not do my writing or grading with all the conversations going on.

Selected: ARRAY(0x151fc0c)

A full closed door office crucial, one that accommodate all of these needs. At present, I don't have the room for the kind of file cabinets I need, but the top three needs expressed here are met.

Selected: ARRAY(0x15266c4)

Again, survey tool only allows entry for one question. I'd answer 1 to all except personal file cabinets and for that I'd answer 3

Selected: ARRAY(0x152982c)

all of these items are pretty equal in importance.

Selected: ARRAY(0x1530774)

All of the above are top priorities (except I do not have much in the way of specialized professional equipment). I do not see these as personal preferences, but as necessary components to my job.

Selected: ARRAY(0x15312bc)

All of these are of about equal importance

My laboratory, NSRL 203 lacks temperature control to the extent that my instrumentation is at risk. Too often do I find the temp in that room at 80 degrees or higher. Less frequently, as well as less threatening to my instrumentation, are periods of extreme cold (less than 65 degrees).

Selected: Somewhat dissatisfied

When I taught in Hendrickson I was closer to my classes.

Selected: Very satisfied

I have switched offices three times in the four plus years I've been at UAS and feel this is the best fit for me. If I could change anything, it would definitely be the addition of a window with natural light, preferably with a view.

Comments:

it's too far away from students

marginal acoustic privacy.

the proximity to shared copy machine and printer. A bit noisy

The window doesn't open and it's often much too warm in the building.

Far from laboratory (Natural Science Labs are down the road a bit).

Very close to noisy student use area.

Lack of light/view

There isn't anything I do not like about it

Students can see into my office. I normally work with my door open, but there are times when it would be helpful to be here working without being visible.

Thin walls; it is easy to hear conversations going on next door.

loud

the chalkboard walls

It is far from campus and overall is not a very comfortable work environment

It is impossibly hot with a noisy heating system that constantly pours heat in.

Obnoxious lighting, lack of window, inability to control the temperature, limited size.

No immediate access to a printer or photocopier.

Hike upstairs and downstairs to access staff and xerox machine and parking

I'm unable to get things done because of the noise.

none wrt AD space

the overhead fluorescent lighting

Often noisy.

There is no natural light and there is no private kitchenette nearby.

Feels a bit isolated at times.

I have large bookshelves.

Larger bookshelves would be lovely.

nothing but a pencil, paper, a few books, and QUIET

large bookshelves, locking files

Bookshelves, filing cabinets, reasonable space for one or two student to sit comfortably and speak privately, if necessary.

large bookshelves and plenty of space to store all my classroom materials (I use a lot of models and props).

My office currently has all the shelves, etc. that I need. I have one large bookcase, one medium sized bookshelf, a desk and small table, a file cabinet.

What is special about bookshelves, and lockable files? I a lot of table surface space.

other than location, maybe a window

A functional window that opens

More light.

Ability to control temperature and light fixtures.

Natural light

Can't think of anything

Have all my colleagues closer by.

A better view.

peace

matching furniture

A window that can help me keep the place cool and with fresh air.

Better lighting

Lighting other than fluorescent bulbs, or perhaps replacing them with full spectrum range bulbs (anti-SAD).

proximity to central gathering place for colleagues

Quiet. Sorry to keep harping on this, but it's impossible to concentrate when several other people are talking loudly.

none wrt AD space

a different light source other than the overhead fluorescent lights

Availability of a kitchen sink; washing dishes in the bathroom is nasty.

Natural light.

I wish it opened into a common area. This would make the office feel more secure, it would allow me to keep my door open in winter and would allow for better air circulation, and would create a space to interact with colleagues over coffee breaks, etc.

A window with natural light

A functioning thermostat

Comments:

access: for students, to meeting areas, to classrooms, to shared facilities

equitable distribution of good office space (I moved 6 times before landing in my office!)--altho' more shared social spaces--a real cafe, better food services with pleasant atmosphere--would rank a close second.

Its fine as is

Storage for the misc. junk that gets stuffed in hallways, classrooms, offices, and every other available space!

Common area (fridge, microwave) with seating for lunch.

Faculty lounge.

Open gathering areas like a kitchenette and student lounge "zones"

Can't think of anything

It would be great to have a meeting room for our department.

Better eating options.

A good place to eat, seriously. I never eat the Mourant cafeteria.

Someplace I can eat, visit, and wash dishes (that does not have toilets)

A proper, dedicated art gallery

A faculty lounge and better food service.

Faculty gathering place

A research laboratory space that is near both my office and teaching spaces.

I am very fortunate to have such a nice office; I am definitely in the minority. I would love a few places to sit or eat lunch/snacks outdoors in a green or grassy area (NOT in the horrible bricked up space where greenery has been largely eliminated.

Separate areas for eating. Egan library has a great kitchen space with a table, couches, fridge, microwave and stove. And there is always coffee. It is a place where I can rest between classes. I would also love it if this space were available for use during class times so that I could do special cultural events with my students.

Break rooms / lunch rooms. Right now I generally end up eating lunch by myself. A convenient and comfortable break room would improve camaraderie.

A faculty lounge / meeting space / presentation space would be great. However, if there is a decision to be made for available funds, individual offices for every faculty member should be available before any money is spent on any other improvements.
