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.

Birck Research Symposium

[cid:image013.png at 01D5F5FF.7D67ADF0]
Help us build a stronger Birck community!
Register HERE<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/birck-research-symposium-registration-95616197621?aff=ebdssbdestsearch>
Birck Nanotechnology Center is pleased to announce a one-day symposium for all BNC faculty, staff, and students. This meeting will be a time for us to hear about each other's research, spark new collaborations, and build a stronger Birck community.
Faculty, staff, and students will have the opportunity to attend presentations from the team leaders of Birck's major research areas, engage in thought-provoking roundtable discussions about emerging research topics, and present their latest work at morning and afternoon poster sessions in the Birck atrium. Lunch will be provided at Birck, as well as hors d'oeuvres, pastries and coffee at the poster sessions.
We look forward to seeing you there!

Re-Use Bouffant cap and shoe covers

We have been notified by our supplier that until further notice they will not supply shoe covers or bouffant caps. This is in part due to the corona virus by production of these goods and increased need in the medical field.

We are looking into possible alternatives but until thing change please re-use bouffant caps and shoe covers for at least 1 week when entering the cleanroom.

Birck Safety Officer
