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

We need private self-contained offices, all the above choices sound like 'cubicle' options | Selected: ARRAY(0x1604144)
Space to teach online classes privately. | Selected: ARRAY(0x16019c4)
A Bullpen would absolutely not be appropriate | Selected: ARRAY(0x16024d4)
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(0x1605b94)
Quiet and private space is necessary for any faculty member who advises students. In education, we do a lot of distance courses and we need quiet private areas to do this. If they are not available, we will have to conduct our business off campus. |

Privacy for teaching online. I need to hear and be heard |
That it is a private office for advising students and for working uninterrupted by other things that may be going on in the open spaces of the department |
Excellent office. |
Quiet area with privacy (office with a door). Nice view. Close to colleagues |
It is my own private office. |
Everything. Cannot specify any one quality |
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. |
Privacy; ability to close the door. |
It has a door. |
Quiet and private to meet with students, other faculty, and to hold distance (Elluminate or other) sessions. |

Comments:
marginal acoustic privacy. |
Far from parking. |
Proximity to the construction. It is loud and affects my ability to concentrate at times. |
Far from laboratory (Natural Science Labs are down the road a bit). |
I do not have a nice 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. |
Very crowded in shared areas. |
It is impossibly hot with a noisy heating system that constantly pours heat in. |
It's usually cold - but that isn't much of a problem as it's easy to deal with. |
It can only accommodate the desk in one direction. The space is tight. |

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. |
Clean rooms and meeting rooms-the rooms are dusty and the tables filthy |
a more comfortable coffee shop area. I would like to see more comfortable furniture near Spikes in the common space outside the library. That has the potential for an active meeting area but doesn't have a comfortable feel about it. It has a great view and could be much better with chairs and couches that would invite people sitting and talking. |
Common area (fridge, microwave) with seating for lunch. |
less construction. |
Having better parking and a campus that you have more than one entrance. |
Can't think of anything |
It would be great to have a meeting room for our department. |
natural full spectrum lighting |
Someplace I can eat, visit, and wash dishes (that does not have toilets) |
Student union (student activity center), faculty lounge, accessible walk around lake. |
More natural opportunity to interact with other faculty on campus (like faculty lounge). |

The rooms need to be cleaned. We need better parking for those who come and go during the day. |
I would like to make sure that there is sufficient faculty involvement in any workplace planning and decisions. |
Keep faculty in their private offices. |
Can't think of anything that would apply to me. I really am quite happy with what I have. Really! |
Faculty need private offices--even if they are smaller than currently provided. Cubicles or shared spaces are not acceptable. |
