Preventive Maintenance
Shut Down Notice
October 13 - October 17



The Brick Nanotechnology Center will be undergoing a semi-annual preventive maintenance and service shutdown October 13 through October 17, 2014.  Air handling systems, exhaust systems, hazardous toxic gas delivery, and monitoring systems will be down beginning at 7 a.m. Monday, October 13 through 4 p.m. Friday, October 17.  The BNC staff will be performing appropriate preventive maintenance on the process equipment at this time as well.



All CLEANROOM research work will be suspended until the maintenance activities are completed and all systems are returned to normal.  No one will be allowed to enter the cleanroom during this time period.



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 9 a.m. Monday, October 13 through 4 p.m. Friday, October 17.  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.  No chemical work will be allowed during this period.



It is anticipated that the building and process tool maintenance will be completed by the end of the day on Friday, October 17.  Please check Coral for equipment status and availability.

Survey Feedback

Atrium Displays

The flat panel displays in the upper and lower atriums are now fully functional, and thanks to hard work by John Coy we are now able to show continuously looping PowerPoint presentations on them.  Presently we are showing the new equipment for 2014 that is ordered and/or installed here at Birck.  We've received some very positive comments about that content, so we would be pleased to have suggestions about additional topics you would like to see displayed.  Since looping PowerPoint presentations can be shown this opens up broad possibilities to feature a variety of content . . . current research topics, awards, honors, discoveries, etc.  Please feel free to suggest topics and to send me any presentation material you would suggest displaying.  Of course, we continue to show current events & guest speakers, materials in the deposition systems, and enabled equipment in the cleanroom.

Thanks for your suggestions,
Ron
