Good morning, We are implementing a standardized Cold Room Usage Policy for the MJIS 3052C cold room to support safe, organized, and well-managed operation of this shared research space. At present, access to the MJIS 3052C cold room is limited to a small number of faculty research groups who have been directly involved in policy development and implementation. These groups have received detailed guidance and are currently transitioning to operating in accordance with the policy. This message is intended to provide general awareness to our broader Weldon School Community to: • Clarify that the MJIS 3052C cold room is transitioning to a controlled-access shared resource, with a target effective date of May 11, 2026 • Avoid confusion regarding access and use of the space • Provide a pathway for onboarding as additional users or needs arise over time Relevant documentation includes the following: • MJIS 3052C Cold Room Use Policy document (attached) • Cold Room Access Request Form (attached) • Cold Room Training and Policy Acknowledgement Form (attached) If your research program anticipates a need for cold room access, please reach out to Susan Hardy or me to further discuss expectations and onboarding. Thank you for your cooperation in maintaining a safe and well-managed shared environment.
