    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.
    Selected: ARRAY(0x15ef314)
    Proximity to collections (library)

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

    We need private self-contained offices, all the above choices sound like 'cubicle' options
    Selected: ARRAY(0x15e3214)
    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.

    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

    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
    8 0 NA
    Comments:
    Privacy for teaching online. I need to hear and be heard
    Privacy and room for conferencing with students, colleagues or staff.
    Privacy; ability to close the door.
    My space is private enough to conduct a distance learning class, quiet enough to work, and close to other coworkers.
    Anderson office - proximity to chemistry lab (309)
    It is easily accessible to students and colleagues.
    I'm close to the people and materials I work with. Also, I have a window.
    View, light, control temperature, ability to have private conversations

    Far from parking.
    It's perfect.
    Very crowded in shared areas.
    I would like the ability to control the temperature.
    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.
    No door, but given choice between window and door, I'll take the window.

    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
    bookshelves,

    Valid Missing Mean
    7 1 NA
    Comments:
    Close parking, I need to leave campus often to visit my students at schools
    It's perfect for conferencing with students, colleagues or staff.
    thicker walls so that I don't hear other people's conversations
    A desirable view would make the office more inviting.
    none wrt AD space
    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.

  27.  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
    8 0 NA
    Comments:
    Clean rooms and meeting rooms-the rooms are dusty and the tables filthy
    Ability to drive through the campus as was the case prior -- this would make it easier to spend more time with others.
    natural full spectrum lighting
    Adequate parking in maintained lots would be welcomed.
    A research laboratory space that is near both my office and teaching spaces.
    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.
    Put in a pub

    The rooms need to be cleaned.  We need better parking for those who come and go during the day.
    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.
    Maintaining private offices in order to teach, work in a scholarly manner and collaborate with others is important in the academic setting.
    the windows could be washed a little more often.
    You left out noon to 2 in question 19
