Summary of Campbell Hall Faculty Space Survey by T. Snyder 10-25-22
- These results include the survey response from the Human Sciences and Educational Studies faculty not currently located in PAES (n=73). The results summary is unchanged from the summary of only the Human Sciences faculty results.
- Most reported being in office 3 or more days per week—83%
- Strong preference for individual, private office—86% strongly agreed
- If in the office less than 3 days per week, 36% would be okay with shared office space
- Top 3 concerns about shared office space are:
- Lack of flexibility
- Concerned about distractions leading to loss of focus/productivity
- Lack of privacy
- Other Comments:
- Expanded on privacy concerns: restricted data use regulations require privacy; privacy meeting with students; privacy on zoom calls and other meetings; privacy when teaching virtual class; privacy when providing supervision to students.
- Expanded on flexibility concerns: constant need to reserve private space would be difficult, and that space would be in high demand; lives are complicated and don’t always follow a schedule, need flexibility, especially with young children.
- Other concerns: secure storage for teaching and research-related items; why are we paying IDC from grants if we don’t get private space; don’t want to bring everything to and from campus all the time; need space and privacy to be creative; some do not have space to work at home; differing personalities and potential for drama; general concerns about transition space needs (not asked about but thoughts were nonetheless offered).
