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

    Far from laboratory (Natural Science Labs are down the road a bit).
    There isn't anything I do not like about it
    the chalkboard walls
    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.

    I have no complaints and think it is a lovely campus. I really enjoy my workspace and like being here. I know this report is going to UAS leadership and Faculty Senate; it should also be made available for everyone to see the results. What's the secret?
    Can't think of anything that would apply to me. I really am quite happy with what I have. Really!
    A faculty lounge would be very nice.
