Comments:
The low noise level, the adequate amount of space, the ability to talk to and work with students and colleagues in private. |
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 |
professional ambiance and beautiful view |
Quiet area with privacy (office with a door). Nice view. Close to colleagues |
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. |
area to be able to meet with students and work with them on problems; natural light |
I can shut my door and work alone, with only a few interruptions |
Quiet and private to meet with students, other faculty, and to hold distance (Elluminate or other) sessions. |
The ability to accommodate project and small meeting space. |

Comments:
My space is adequate. |
Proximity to the construction. It is loud and affects my ability to concentrate at times. |
thin walls |
It's SMALL comparatively. |
temperature is not controllable. It is sometimes like a sauna if I leave the door closed. |
I am next to a conference room and a loud colleague, which filters into my workplace. |
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:
A pub |
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. |
faculty lounge |
less construction. |
More IT Bandwidth, more bandwidth, more bandwidth.......... |
I actually like the setup where I am now. I enjoy working in my department. |
Less concrete outside, more green space. Have the faculty in one building, different floors for different departments. |
Student union (student activity center), faculty lounge, accessible walk around lake. |

Tough question - administrative duties far outweigh the amount of time I have to spend on classes, although I do teach primarily distance. |
none in my "university assigned workspace," but I spend 12 hours a week teaching in a classroom created from one of the offices in the department for online (hybrid) teaching. |

20-30 hours. I spend an extra 15-20 hours at home also. |
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. |
10 hours of teaching time are spent on campus. I do all my prep and grading for online teaching on campus as well, which amounts to the rest of the week spent on campus. |
Currently I hold 3 distance classes per week from my office, plus additional review sessions and one-on-one distance sessions as needed. This can be from 4 to 10 hours per week. |
This semester: ~0 |

During the semester, I'm typically here 30-35 hours per week working on lesson plans, answering emails, grading papers, completing service commitments, etc. Sometimes I'm in my office on the weekends, but more often I take my work computer home on the weekends to work. |

Comments:
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? |
I would like to make sure that there is sufficient faculty involvement in any workplace planning and decisions. |
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. |
