    Ideally, all are 1s but less ideally, you can't be productive if you are too cold or too hot and have no recourse.

    The other cubi dwellers are wonderful and interesting people from a variety of programs. There is nothing about this space that says "quality".

    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.

  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
    1 2 NA
    Comments:
    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.
  28.  
  29.  What other comments do you have about improving uas work spaces and the overall UAS work place environment?

    Valid Missing Mean
    1 2 NA
    Comments:
    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.
