Preventive Maintenance
Shut Down Notice
April 30 - May 3

The Birck Nanotechnology Center building will be undergoing a semi-annual preventive maintenance and service starting April 30 until May 3.  Air handling systems, exhaust systems, toxic gas delivery, and monitoring systems will be down beginning at 7 a.m. Tuesday, April 30 to 4 p.m. Friday, May 3.  The BNC staff will be performing appropriate preventive maintenance on the process equipment at this time as well.  Campus steam will be interrupted for 6-8 hours resulting with very cool temperatures (55°) in office, laboratory, and public areas on April 30.  Please dress accordingly for the colder temperatures.

All CLEANROOM research work will be suspended until the maintenance activities are completed and all systems are returned to normal.

In addition, the laboratory areas will also be affected by this systems maintenance.  As such, all LABORATORY activities that involve exhausted hoods, vacuum systems, and/or toxic gas systems will be down beginning 7 a.m. Tuesday, April 30 to 4 p.m. Friday, May 3.  However, work that involves taking standard electrical measurements may be carried out in the LABS provided that fluctuating air temperature and humidity do not affect the readings.

It is anticipated that the building and process tool maintenance will be completed by the end of the day on May 3.  Please check Coral for equipment status and availability.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding during this important preventive maintenance shutdown.
