UPW Status Update
by Reger, Ronald K 20 Mar '24

20 Mar '24

Dear All Birck Users, The issue with the UltraPure Water system was determined to be data communication errors between the control panels of the UPW electronics. We believe this issue has been resolved by fixing an ethernet cable, and the UPW system has been stable all morning. Additionally, the cleanroom humidity has also stabilized at normal levels. Our UPW supply and cleanroom humidity have returned to stable levels and normal research may resume. Thank you for your patience.

Birck Modernization Project Timeline
by Abrol, Sangeeta Saddul 14 Mar '24

14 Mar '24

Dear Birck Users, Thank you to everyone who joined us either in person or virtually for our first town hall meeting this Tuesday. Given our facility is almost 20 years old, these major renovations are critical. We shared the construction timeline and the scope of work required for the Birck modernization project. We appreciate the input and feedback from our users and will work with Pepper Construction and Physical facilities to integrate some of these suggestions. Recognizing the importance of your research, we use a bay-by-bay construction approach to minimize disruptions. We discussed detailed downtime schedules for each bay and tools in the meeting, and have provided a summary in the attached PowerPoint slides. We hope to work with all users together to minimize the impact on research and move the construction forward as efficiently as possible. It is important for users to note the downtime for each bay and tool, ensuring research projects are planned accordingly. We are dedicated to transparency and open communication throughout this process and aim to make this transition as smooth as possible. Please feel free to reach out to the Birck leadership with any questions and suggestions. Thank you, BNC Leadership [cid:image003.png@01DA6A86.797A48B0]

REMINDER: NOTICE – BNC Construction Plans: Future Research Closures & Interruptions for 2024 - 2025
by Abrol, Sangeeta Saddul 11 Mar '24

11 Mar '24

Dear Birck Users, Many of you are aware of Purdue’s Board of Trustees’ investment to upgrade Birck’s aging infrastructure and enhance our facilities. This upgrade is essential for the continued operation and modernization of our facilities. While this presents a significant opportunity for Birck, it also means that the complexity of the project will temporarily disrupt certain research programs and projects, especially those requiring frequent cleanroom access. We are committed to minimizing the impact on research by conducting construction in phases and maintaining certain capabilities in each core to allow for ongoing projects. Each phase has a unique construction schedule, so we have scheduled a 2-hour meeting for March 12, 2024, from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm to go through the details of the plans. The meeting will be available both in person in BRK_1001 and virtually (Zoom: https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/96121685340<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpurdue-ed…> ). A calendar invite will be sent shortly. Due to the complexity of this project, we have asked Purdue University Physical Facilities Management and Pepper Construction to join the meeting and answer any detailed questions you may have. This meeting is crucial for those affected by the anticipated 12-18 months of research interruptions at the Birck Center. Additional follow-up meetings will be planned as needed. Proactively we are completing early testing of cleanroom operations in preparation for the spring 2024 Preventative Maintenance cycle. This has been detailed, along with possible future interruptions, in the announcement sent on 2/8/2024. We look forward to discussing these plans further and a bright future for the Birck Nanotechnology Center. Best Regards, BNC Leadership [cid:image002.png@01DA73CD.14D711E0]
