BNC Research Equipment Power Outage for ALL GENERAL LABORATORY, SUBFAB AND CLEANROOM: WED., MAY 6TH 2020 FROM 10AM - 2PM

This is advance notice about major electrical power outage involving all research equipment in the center on Wednesday May 6 from 10AM to 2 PM.  Physical Facilities High Voltage Department have firmed up plans necessary to gain access and have parts needed to fix the switchboard #1 that supplies power to all research equipment in the center.  This involves all research equipment in ALL GENERAL LABORATORY, SUB FAB, AND  CLEANROOM.  All research equipment connected to our building wide Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) or generator power will NOT lose power during this time.

This work will be completed during our normal spring building preventative maintenance closure that is scheduled from Monday May 4 through Friday May 8, 2020.  More details on the preventative maintenance closure will be communicated as we get closer to May 4, 2020.

Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

Best Regards,

Interruption to Cleanroom Humidity Control

Dear BNC Cleanroom Users,

On Wednesday February 26, 2020 starting at 7:30AM Purdue Physical Facility Department needs to shut down the medium pressure steam to the cleanroom humidification units for about 8 hours to make needed steam piping modification.

If the outside weather is below normal conditions the cleanroom relative  humidity levels can drop to 10% to 15% (normal humidity level is 45%), which will substantially increase electrostatic discharge when handling electronics devices in the cleanroom.

Please contact me if you have any questions, and thank you for your patience during this interruption.

Best Regards,

Mark Voorhis
Building Manager

DURI Faculty Proposals

The Discovery Park Undergraduate Research Internship (DURI)<https://www.purdue.edu/discoverypark/duri/> is now accepting faculty proposals for the summer session, with a deadline of February 21. Please share these details with your affiliated faculty. Additionally, Peter Bermel, who manages DURI with the assistance of Kate Mitsch, both copied on this email, are always open to new partnership opportunities with Discovery Park centers and institutes! Feel free to reach out directly to Peter and Kate if you're interested in 'sponsoring' a student for an upcoming session or if you want more information.
