Abstract
This chapter investigates the importance of a separate place for faculty to leave their offices and go to a place on campus to write. Drawbacks of writing in one’s office and at one’s home are examined. A faculty member needs to be separated from daily tasks and interruptions to concentrate on the business of writing and a Faculty Writing Studio meets this need. Collaboration is also available for faculty who wish to discuss writing, projects, and grants. The dedicated space for writing and research is an outward show of an institution’s support to the faculty’s writing. Both quantitative and qualitative data are presented.
