Notice - Campus Steam Outage
by Voorhis, Mark L. 23 Apr '15

23 Apr '15

Wade power plant had a failure that tripped off all steam boilers on campus they are reporting to hopefully have steam pressure back on line in couple hours. Due to the colder outside ambient we may have short notice interruption to lab and cleanroom air supply systems. All office and atrium air handling systems are off so you may notice cooler temperatures in those spaces.

Refrigerator Clean out The refrigerator will be cleaned out Thursday, April 30th in the afternoon. All items unlabeled or appearing to be old will be thrown out. VB6 The VB6 remains down hard. We have arranged for nearby facilities to help support our e-Beam lithography research needs until our VB6 is repaired. We have contacted Notre Dame, University of Illinois, University of Michigan, and Ohio State. They all have EBL systems and are ready to support us on a case-by-case basis. If you need detailed contact information please see me as I have the contact names, emails, and equipment capabilities. We apologize for this inconvenience and we’re working to find a good solution for our VB6 issues. Ron
