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(0x163485c)

Your survey tool doesn't seem to be working. I'm only able to enter numbers for 2 of the above questions. For what it's worth, my response to all is either a 1 or 2.

None of these are very important. Questions 5 and 6 are more important.

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(0x1632d9c)

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(0x163482c)

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(0x1601234)

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).

Valid	Missing	Mean

Comments:

natural light

the view

The low noise level, the adequate amount of space, the ability to talk to and work with students and colleagues in private.

It is private.

professional ambiance and beautiful view

Quiet area with privacy (office with a door). Nice view. Close to colleagues

Privacy for discussion with students/colleagues.

Everything. Cannot specify any one quality

I have a private office that locks.

The private space with a door. It's very important to me to have a room I can work in with privacy. I very much like the window too.

My window

area to be able to meet with students and work with them on problems; natural light

It's in the Soboleff Annex - a calm space, good for meeting colleagues, students, and has a nice view.

Proximity of classrooms, students, colleagues

Anderson office - proximity to chemistry lab (309)

the view

Window that I can open.

It is easily accessible to students and colleagues.

I'm close to the people and materials I work with. Also, I have a window.

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

Valid	Missing	Mean

Comments:

marginal acoustic privacy.

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

My space is adequate.

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

thin walls

Very close to noisy student use area.

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.

the chalkboard walls

temperature is not controllable. It is sometimes like a sauna if I leave the door closed.

No immediate access to a printer or photocopier.

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

none wrt AD space

the overhead fluorescent lighting

Often noisy.

When leaving work it is difficult to enter Egan Hwy. north in the heavy traffic. Sometimes requiring as much as a 15 min. wait.

No door, but given choice between window and door, I'll take the window.

Cannot control temperature of my office

Large bookshelves, desk, file cabinets.

None for the present

I have large bookshelves.

Larger bookshelves would be lovely.

locking files, large bookshelves, good desk, comfortable chair

large bookshelf; one set of locking file cabinets; large desk area to work with students; enough room for a chair for me and up to 2 other chairs for when people come into the office to talk

Beyond those already listed, none.

storage of scientific research equipment

none wrt AD space

large bookshelves, locking files

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

none

I work in a department that processes all the physical materials passing in and out of the library collection. This can be a lot of items (for instance a donation of hundreds of items) and also large items (for instance large maps). I need to be able to keep several book trucks in or near my area, as does the staff in my department

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

Comments:

better ability to control temperature.

A functional window that opens

mac computer

Ability to control temperature and light fixtures.

matching furniture

I like my current space

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

proximity to central gathering place for colleagues

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.

different lighting.

It would help if I cleaned it up! Having a door or higher privacy wall would be nice but I am used to what I have.

A functioning thermostat

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
19	2	NA

Comments:

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

A pub

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

faculty lounge

less construction.

Faculty lounge.

Can't think of anything

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

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

I actually like the setup where I am now. I enjoy working in my department.

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.

an old time library room with a fireplace and soft chairs.

Things that would be nice: student union type space with a fireplace; decent array of vending machines; not losing any more parking spaces.
