Signage

Dear All Birck Faculty, Staff, and Users,

In an effort to provide more uniformity and to give a more professional appearance for our visitors and guests we are implementing a standard sign template to be used for all signs posted around the facility.  This will include any signs used in the cleanroom, labs, galleys, subfab, restrooms, or any general gathering places around Birck.  Below is the link to the template to use as well as general sign guidelines.  From today forward, if you want to post a sign anywhere within Birck please use the attached template and electronically submit your sign to Ron Reger (rreger at purdue.edu<mailto:rreger at purdue.edu>) for approval prior to posting.  Adopting this approach will give us a more coordinated and professional appearance for the many visitors who come to Birck.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Dimitri Peroulis
Deputy Director
Birck Nanotechnology Center
