Describe

Office on a University campus. I like it because it's centrally located to the hub of campus BUT I dislike it because it's smaller than the space we need so sometimes we'll have to use adjoining offices as temporary spaces for the services we provide students. I wish the space was larger so that our office wasn't disconnected at times.
