    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.

    Loud coworkers in the shared space. You can't escape the sound when you need to.
    No door.
    No privacy, very limited storage for supplies.
    Lack of privacy and the amount of noise & distractions.  View of ugly courtyard.

  25.  What ONE THING would make your current workspace more inviting and appealing?

    Valid Missing Mean
    4 0 NA
    Comments:
    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.
    Better temperature control and better sound barriers.
    Storage space for supplies (so it is not stacked everywhere)
    Privacy & quiet
  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?

    Valid Missing Mean
    4 0 NA
    Comments:
    Not sure
    Larger break room where we can actually sit down for breaks or lunch and comfy furniture to relax.
    Visually appealing spaces
    A Lawn (opps...too late to hope for that)
  28.  
  29.  What other comments do you have about improving uas work spaces and the overall UAS work place environment?

    Valid Missing Mean
    3 1 NA
    Comments:
    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.
    Consistency in the style of furniture/cubicles/desks, artwork on walls, desk treadmills would be awesome!
    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.
