    My glassed-in office space looks out over the Writing Center where I spend most of my time. I have no complaints about my office per se, but the Writing Center is busy and should be assigned a bigger and better space in any major reconfiguration.

    Large Windows
    Space
    quite when i need it to be
    It's attached to the Writing Center.
    It has the space needed for the many supplies associated with my work & the large, ongoing projects which require access to those supplies.
    It's near the best parking lot on campus.
  22.  
  23.  The quality that I like LEAST about my current workspace is:

    Valid Missing Mean
    6 0 NA
    Comments:
    No privacy
    far from campus, students, and faculty.
    no window, or natural light, tucked away in the corner.
    The Writing Center it looks out on is too small, windowless, and under-staffed.
    None.
    It's cold in the winter, and I have no door--I deal with the most confidential issues in the office, aside from Mike... :O

    Valid Missing Mean

    on campus
    a window/or some natural light ANYWHERE near my area. Nearest window is on the opposite side of the "technical Services" area
    If I looked out over an aesthetic, well-equipped, fully-staffed Writing Center.
    Nothing.
    Floor lamps. For sure.
  26.  
  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?

    more involvement with student events, as a 'computer guy' i do not get to interact with the students very often outside of "i can't get the printer to work"
    The only thing I desire is a better-resourced Writing Center.
    Less stress regarding workspace issues.
    More food options and pillows.

  29.  What other comments do you have about improving uas work spaces and the overall UAS work place environment?

    none.
    I only relate to my own corner of the campus most of the time. Overall, I love the direction the outside space is taking and am thrilled about the new dorm. To provide students who live in that building with on-site math and writing consultants would, in my humble opinion, be a brilliant move. I hope you don't mind my taking this opportunity to lobby for a better-resourced Writing Center. I really have no complaints or suggestions regarding my cubicle.
    Please remember that we can always back up files online--we don't really need to use all this paper!! I have a stack of 20 phone books that no one wants. They're brand new!
