The quality that I like MOST about my current workspace is:

Valid	Missing	Mean
5	1	NA

Comments:

How much space my cubicle has and that I have a window with natural light and that opens.

There is quiet, controlled heating and cooling environmental controls. And a sink with hot and cold running water!

That I can have a confidential conversation in my workspace without being overheard.

Storage

It's near the best parking lot on campus.

The quality that I like LEAST about my current workspace is:

Valid	Missing	Mean
5	1	NA

Comments:

no view and no control of the small window in my space. Also temp is an issue its not consistant

No door.

Ventilation. I wish our windows opened.

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

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

Valid Missing Mean

5 1 NA

Comments:

Better temperature control and better sound barriers.

Get good office furniture.

Windows that opened

Privacy & quiet

Floor lamps. For sure.

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	2	NA

Comments:

Larger break room where we can actually sit down for breaks or lunch and comfy furniture to relax.

a student union center. One place where students know presentations will be held, meetings, fairs, and gatherings. This would really help with a workplace setting because then we as staff would know where students would be.

A Lawn (opps...too late to hope for that)

More food options and pillows.

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

Valid	Missing	Mean
4	2	NA

Comments:

There is no area where we can have meetings. Also no true break room. We have to eat lunch at our desk or go to the cafeteria. This means we are interrupted with work issues and might as well not be on lunch. There is no where to take a break form work!!!!

Lighting always seems to be an issue. Studies have shown, the right type of light improves a persons overall feelings of goodness. Light therapy is a way to treat seasonal affective disorder (SAD) by exposure to artificial light.

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!
