    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(0x151e124)
    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.

    Excellent office.

    Ability to conduct dirty and noisy fabrication.

    Far from laboratory (Natural Science Labs are down the road a bit).
    the chalkboard walls
    Very crowded in shared areas.
    Obnoxious lighting, lack of window, inability to control the temperature, limited size.

    Comments:
    More light.
    matching furniture
    thicker walls so that I don't hear other people's conversations
    Better lighting

    updated overhead lighting or 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 good place to eat, seriously. I never eat the Mourant cafeteria.
    natural full spectrum lighting
    A  proper, dedicated art gallery
    None
    standardization of furnishing finishes
    Break rooms / lunch rooms. Right now I generally end up eating lunch by myself. A convenient and comfortable break room would improve camaraderie.
