Parking!
by Weaver, John R 16 Aug '11

16 Aug '11

Here is the long-awaited announcement! The new parking lot on the west end of the BNC will open - barring unforeseen circumstances - on Monday, August 22, 2011. This week the striping will be completed and temporary lighting installed. When the final light poles arrive, we will have to close off a few spots while they are installed, but that should not be a big deal at all. John John R.

OriginPro 8.5.1
by Jeff Goecker 11 Aug '11

11 Aug '11

Sent on behalf of Jeremy Schroeder... Its finally ready... Purdue University's licensing agreement with OriginLab accommodates the installation and use of OriginPro 8.5.1 on any Purdue-owned computer, on computers owned by enrolled Purdue students, and on computers owned by faculty and staff affiliated with Purdue University. Previously version 8.0.X was available to faculty and staff. If you wish to install 8.5.1 on your system you you can get the software at: https://engineering.purdue.edu/PULS Look under Visualization->OriginPro It appears the installations use different directories so I think you can use both versions at the same time. If you wish to continue using version 8.0.X and your using a version older than service release 2 then you *MUST* patch your existing OriginPro software to work with the new license server (if your exsiting version started getting licensing errors then it needs to be patched). Patches and instructions are available at the above PULS site under "8.0 Service Release patches". There are instructions in the README file. --mike Mike Moya - Mgr, Software Services - 765.494.2349 Purdue University - Engineering Computer Network - moyman(a)ecn.purdue.edu

Everyone, We have run into some problems with the stripping of the floors in the front hallway. Because of this, the schedule for the stripping and waxing will be changing. Until we can figure out the best way to remove the existing wax, we do not have an updated schedule for you. As soon as we do, we will send that out to you right away. I apologize if this has caused you any inconveniences. Please contact me with any questions you may have. Thank you, Mary Jo Totten Building Logistics Coordinator Birck Nanotechnology Center Purdue University/Discovery Park 1205 W. State Street West Lafayette, IN 47907-2057 765-496-1173

_____________________________________________ From: Riese, Gail A Sent: Wednesday, July 20, 2011 8:36 AM Subject: Excessive Heat Warning, Safety and Conservation Measures Communications Announcement Purdue University - Physical Facilities TO: Building Deputies [Please distribute.] FR: Bob Olson, Senior Director, Energy, Engineering and Sustainability Carol Shelby, Senior Director, Environmental Health and Public Safety DA: Wednesday, July 20, 2011 RE: Excessive Heat Warning, Safety and Conservation Measures An excessive heat warning has been issued for Tippecanoe County. Please take a moment to review the following safety guidelines for extremely warm weather conditions. http://www.purdue.edu/physicalfacilities/pdf/osha_heatcard.pdf Your continued assistance in minimizing cooling demand while maintaining a safe environment in your facility is appreciated. In addition to the curtailment steps that have already been implemented by the Utilities Department, you can help to reduce cooling demand by: * Shutting off lights in unoccupied areas * Turning off unnecessary/unused equipment and appliances (computers, coffee pots, etc...) * Lowering window shades on the sunny side of the building Portable fans may be used for the comfort of building occupants where needed. Thank you in advance for your attention to the safety guidelines for warm weather conditions and for your assistance in minimizing cooling demand.
