The space wouldn't be bad if people who are frequently on conference calls or have meetings have more of their own space instead of being in a shared one. | Selected: Very dissatisfied
You can hear everyone's conversations. Very disruptive. No place to hang a coat. No control of the temperature It's either too hot or too cold. Very rarely is it an acceptable temperature. No place to hold a department meeting or audio conference | Selected: Somewhat satisfied
My work group is fragmented. Would love to be more co-located. |

The other cubi dwellers are wonderful and interesting people from a variety of programs. There is nothing about this space that says "quality". |
Desk area is large enough to lay out tasks. Sufficient cabinets for manuals and resource materials. |
The set up of my cubicle. |
Easy to collaborate. Nice view with lots of light. I've been in it forever. |

No privacy |
Loud coworkers in the shared space. You can't escape the sound when you need to. |
far from campus, students, and faculty. |
noise |
Heating system was designed for a classroom and despite repeated (and appreciated) attempts by facilities people, it is always either too cold, too hot AND too windy. |
I can hear everyone talking. Very disruptive. Desks areas set up so that you are approached from behind. Very BAD. No flexibility in rearranging furniture to fit personal desires without having to contact the movers. No place to hang a coat. |
I'm not have a confidential conversation without being overheard. |
Not well laid out in terms of use of the space. Not near certain key members of my team. |
Lack of privacy and the amount of noise & distractions. View of ugly courtyard. |
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 |

More of an open space that isn't divided by tall cubicle walls. I'm the only one in my space that faces towards the door. Everyone else has their back to the door which seems like it is not very inviting to people entering the office. |

meeting spaces |
A place with healthy and delicious food to eat, to have coffee and pastries and to hang out during breaks. The cafeteria is not any of these and the new brick courtyard will not fulfill the need for a dry, comfortable gathering spot. |
Add a photo mural of the Juneau mountains to the Registrar/ Financial Aid wall. Everyone knows they are at the University of Alaska Southeast, especially by the time they have entered the building. |
Being able to have a confidential conversation without being overheard. |
More collaborative spaces. |
A Lawn (opps...too late to hope for that) |
More food options and pillows. |

Departments shouldn't be so split up. Appropriate positions should be grouped together in a space if space needs to be utilized more efficiently (i.e. admin staff in an open area with faculty and advisers in a place with a closeable door/more soundproof. |
NA |
If cubicle environments are unavoidable, it would be helpful if the spaces were shared by those having similar functions, such as administrative staff with other administrative staff, and adjuncts with other adjuncts. |
What with converting classrooms to offices, access to staff centers for preparing lunches, doing dishes, getting water have been centralized in rooms with sinks causing noise, traffic, smells and generally disrupting work. There needs ti be a staff/faculty lounge at regular intervals throughout the campus so that someone's work spaces don't turn into another person's kitchen. |
A storage room that is adequate is essential. A conference room should be required for all office areas that use the cubicle format to allow for audio conferences and department meetings. |
Faculty need to have offices not cubicles in order to maintain FERPA requirements. |
People have different working styles. Some people are easily bothered by noise and outside distractions when trying to work on important projects. A chance to have a quiet work environment would be ideal for many people. |
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! |
