    If only parking was enforced in the handicapped area and fire lanes; never has been for the 10 years I've been here. VERY FRUSTRATING when able-bodied folks park there. Unfortunately it appears it's going to take a tragedy to get this enforced.

    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: Somewhat dissatisfied
    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.
    Selected: Somewhat dissatisfied
    We weren't given any real choice; we were told what we were getting and had to adapt.

    I have sufficient desk space for what I need.
    windows that open
    It's attached to the Writing Center.
    Handicapped parking area next to office (although unenforced so others park there all the time :(  )
    I'm easy to find.
    It has the space needed for the many supplies associated with my work & the large, ongoing projects which require access to those supplies.

    Comments:
    Loud coworkers in the shared space. You can't escape the sound when you need to.
    noise
    The Writing Center it looks out on is too small, windowless, and under-staffed.
    Insufficient storage for files.
    No window.
    None.

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

    Valid Missing Mean
    6 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.
    privacy
    If I looked out over an aesthetic, well-equipped, fully-staffed Writing Center.
    More space.
    A window
    Nothing.

  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
    6 0 NA
    Comments:
    Not sure
    meeting spaces
    The only thing I desire is a better-resourced Writing Center.
    Lounge with chairs/couch where we could take breaks away from our office and lay down if needed.
    More frequent grounds and custodial maintenance.
    Less stress regarding workspace issues.
  28.  
  29.  What other comments do you have about improving uas work spaces and the overall UAS work place environment?

    Valid Missing Mean
    5 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.
    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.
    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.
    More ADA compliance.
    wifi and phone service would be nice.
