03 Dec '08

Due to a problem with the fire panel in BNC, the system will need to be rebooted. This MAY cause a false alarm. There will be an announcement to disregard the alarm given over the fire-paging system prior to the reboot, then a second announcement to once again heed all alarms. This should take place shortly after 2:30 pm today (Wednesday). During the time between these announcements, please DO NOT EVACUATE the facility. Thank you for understanding, John John R. Weaver Facility Manager Birck Nanotechnology Center Purdue University (765) 494-5494 jrweaver(a)purdue.edu
