<p style="direction: ltr; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Dear Colleagues,</p>
<p style="direction: ltr; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Due to the recent staff expansion at JLab, the pressure for office space at the lab has increased. Some user space has already been converted to staff offices. In the long term, lab management
is considering to potentially reconfigure the user space, by for example, replacing user offices in F-wing with an open desk space, i.e. library-type.</p>
<p style="direction: ltr; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><br>
</p>
<p style="direction: ltr; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">The Lab management has asked the JLUO Board of Directors to formulate the actual users' needs in terms of office space. We ask you to fill out a survey that is meant to provide an up-to-date information
about these needs. Of special importance is to assess the need for institutionally assigned offices vs the alternatives of short-term-assigned desks (library-type - a desk in an open space with many desks) or offices that can be booked prior to a visit to
JLab for the duration of that visit ("hotel" like space). The survey will help us to determine the office and conference space of the JLab users who are not JLab staff that is currently needed in order for us to carry out the science mission of the lab and
to feel welcome to visit the laboratory.</p>
<p style="direction: ltr; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><br>
</p>
<p style="direction: ltr; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">The survey is anonymous and no lab staff will see any of the submitted responses. e-mail addresses are not collected. You can fill it out for yourself, your research group, or all users in your
institution. The survey would take no more than 30 min of your time and we kindly ask you to provide this important information via the Google form:</p>
