Major Themes
Productivity
“I do all my work in my office. Sharing with another person would be extremely distracting. It would
also preclude confidential conversations with colleagues and students.”
“For years I worked remotely, but have found that having a private office gives me the space and
time to dedicate myself to my work.”

Privacy
”I need private work space, confidential meeting space and a secure place to store confidential
documents.”
“The need for student privacy and confidential conversations with faculty and students. Having the
option to work from home and in the office is a major plus for efficiency and comfort”

Storage
”My campus office is where most of books are stored. The office provides me with very good
working conditions because the tools I need like photocopier, duplicating machines etc are easily
within my reach. More over, I have a very quiet atmosphere to work.”

For what purposes would you use a Faculty Lounge?

Major Themes
Relaxation, Community, and Breaks
“Relax, share ideas in a relaxed atmosphere, a place to get coffee that does not detract from the
business-like atmosphere that should exist in front of the dean's office!”
“To meet informally with my colleagues, to eat meals someplace other than at my desk, to take
visitors (guest lecturers)”
“Share pedagogical techniques. Develop a greater sense of community and collective purpose.”
“It would be helpful as a means of getting together informally with colleagues in other disciplines to
discuss teaching practices and course content items or to exchange information and knowledge. I
also think that the institution of a regular faculty tea (daily or weekly for an hour at a time) would allow
for greater interdisciplinary cross-pollination among faculty and provide opportunities for students to
interact more informally with faculty.”
“To have lunch or coffee away from my desk and to be able to interact informally with other faculty
members. This would help foster collegiality.”
“Might meet with people there. It would be nice to mingle with faculty from the different schools as
we are segregated by suite or floor now. Some of my colleague's offices are so crowded with stuff I
can't meet with them in their space so this would be an alternative to my office-- especially if coffee
is available!”

Which approach to a Faculty Lounge would you prefer?

A GGU Faculty Lounge - for all faculty 20% 29% 6% 9%

Multiple Faculty Lounges - according to school 0% 31% 11% 3%

0% 19% 38% 57% 76% 95%





Please explain your response to the previous question

GGU Faculty Lounge - for all faculty
“GGU Lounge for all faculty promotes the concept of teamwork, collaboration and exchange of best
practice ideas”

“The more diversity and intermingling the better!”

“I would love to get to know faculty from the other schools, particularly the business program. We
could take an interdisciplinary approach to learning.”

Multiple Faculty Lounges - according to school
“I see the highest beneﬁt of a lounge as promoting collegiality and productivity among colleagues
with whom one works. While it would also be nice to have a mixed lounge to meet faculty from other
schools, that would serve as more of a social function, which is not as critical in my opinion--nice,
but not as effective as having a place to discuss ongoing efforts and issues with work colleagues.”

“It's important for colleagues from the same school to get to know each other and feel free to
discuss issues about their school. It won't be the same if other schools are there as well.”

Key Insights +
Potential Applications

Qualitative Assessment

Objective 1: Facility Utilization and Needs Analysis
• Classroom requirements are standard
• There is some need for a large and aesthetically pleasing gathering space
• Interactive Hub
• Survey results call into question the need for multiple student lounges
• Consider if a consolidated, centralized lounge be better utilized? Would allow
for the provision of space to house more food options
• Given the number of students who use GGU Student Services once a month
or less, it may not require a centralized location

Objective 4: University Library Conceptual Programming
• Current University Library hours accommodate most students’ needs
• Interesting that peak hours of use were from 12-4pm
• Perspective that group study is in high demand may be over-blown
• Students reported that individual, quiet study space would be used almost
daily
• Faculty reported that they assigned group projects only 3-5 times a semester
(20% said they never do)
• Of those who assign group projects, many happen during class time
