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). |

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. |
Even though small, it's a private office that I can hold confidential conversations in. I also can keep those tools around me within arms reach that I use constantly. |
Privacy and room for conferencing with students, colleagues or staff. |
Everything. Cannot specify any one quality |
area to be able to meet with students and work with them on problems; natural light |

It's SMALL comparatively. |
It's perfect. |
There isn't anything I do not like about it |
temperature is not controllable. It is sometimes like a sauna if I leave the door closed. |
I'm unable to get things done because of the noise. |
none wrt AD space |
When leaving work it is difficult to enter Egan Hwy. north in the heavy traffic. Sometimes requiring as much as a 15 min. wait. |

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. |
A pub |
Storage for the misc. junk that gets stuffed in hallways, classrooms, offices, and every other available space! |
More IT Bandwidth, more bandwidth, more bandwidth.......... |
Ability to drive through the campus as was the case prior -- this would make it easier to spend more time with others. |
Can't think of anything |
I actually like the setup where I am now. I enjoy working in my department. |
A research laboratory space that is near both my office and teaching spaces. |
an old time library room with a fireplace and soft chairs. |

This varies drastically by semester. This semester I am spending approximately 8-10 hours a week working on a distance course because I only have 1 distance course this semester. Other semesters it may be more. |

Comments:
student access to faculty is underrated by university personnel, but it would significantly improve service, retention, and learning, all part of the UAS mission |
We seem to have lots of money for physical plant, bricks, paving, etc. - but we can't get enough resources to conduct proper on-line teaching, sufficient IT resources, a lack of sufficient bandwidth, lack of sufficient support. |
It would be hard to improve on what I currently have...space to get things accomplished and meet with colleagues, students and staff and privacy whenever needed for the same. |
Can't think of anything that would apply to me. I really am quite happy with what I have. Really! |
I'm also concerned about the classroom shortage. Teaching discussion classes in the media room is counter-productive. |
the windows could be washed a little more often. |
