Evaporators
by Dave Lubelski 06 Oct '06

06 Oct '06

The three metal evaporators will be down through the weekend. The Airco has a mechanical problem and a part is on order. The Varian is down due to a student venting the cryopump to atmosphere. This fix may include a new cryopump. The CHA has a blown high voltage power supply which is being worked on currently. If any change in status occurs before Monday and email will be sent to all cleanroom users. Dave Lubelski

Hallway Closure Postponed
by John Weaver 29 Sep '06

29 Sep '06

The closing of the entry area and hallway in the Birck Nanotechnology Center and in the Bindley Biosciences Center WILL NOT occur this Saturday as previously scheduled. The building will be open and accessible as it is on normal Saturday operations, i.e. card access required. Due to communications issues with the housekeeping organization, the hallway closure originally scheduled for tomorrow - Saturday, 30 September 2006 - has been postponed for two weeks. My apologies for any inconvenience that this has caused and especially for the short notice. Further communication will be given prior to the scheduled closing of the hallway on Saturday, 14 October 2006, as the date draws nearer. Thank you for your understanding, John Weaver John R. Weaver Facility Manager Birck Nanotechnology Center Purdue University (765) 494-5494 jrweaver(a)purdue.edu
