Phil,

On Wednesday afternoon, someone in REM witnessed some students spray 
painting on the lawn between ARMS and PHYS. They were already gone 
before I was able to get out there, so we aren’t sure whose research 
group they were from, but they were from a group working in the ARMS 
building. They had the right idea to do the spray painting outside 
(instead of in a chemical fume hood), but they could have done it 
better. Is there any way you could relay the following info to 
fabrication labs in the building?

Instead of spray painting in the open air, they need to put up a back 
stop for the overspray. A large cardboard box works well. Without the 
back stop they run the risk of the paint overspray getting on vehicles 
parked around the area. This has been an issue in other areas on campus 
and has cost the University thousands of dollars in individual insurance 
claims.

The students should also be protecting themselves. PPE they should use 
are N-95 respirator (dustmask), safety glasses, and gloves (optional).

Thank you,
