Fwd: COVID-19 Research Ramp-Down Checklist
by Turner, Jaime J 23 Mar '20

23 Mar '20

-------- Original message -------- From: Purdue Research <purdueresearch(a)purdue.edu> Date: 3/23/20 6:36 PM (GMT-05:00) To: Subject: COVID-19 Research Ramp-Down Checklist March 23, 2020 Dear Colleagues: We realize this is a difficult time for everyone in the Purdue research community. We appreciate your dedication and creativity to advancing our research mission in a safe and responsible way during this unprecedented time, including a significant transition to remote work when possible. Until now, the majority of our on-campus research laboratories have remained operational with all personnel following the latest social distancing and safety hygiene practices. Today Governor Holcomb’s office released an executive order for Hoosiers to remain in their homes except when they are at work or for permitted activities, such as taking care of others, obtaining necessary supplies, and for health and safety. The order provides an exception for “educational institutions . . . for purposes of . . . performing critical research or performing essential functions,” provided that social distancing practices continue to be followed. The order is in effect from March 25 until April 7. With this new order, our research leaders should prepare for a transition that further limits work on the Purdue campus to critical research-related activities beginning on March 25. Tomorrow morning, we will release Purdue’s definition of critical research-related activities, and provide a link to an online Critical On-Campus Research Continuity Request Form. To assist with this process, we have attached a Research Laboratory Ramp-Down Checklist that you can use to ramp-down your experimental and computational research laboratories. Not all of the items will be applicable to all of your laboratories. Our laboratories include many different kinds of hazards. Please ensure that all tasks are done carefully and with the correct personnel. The Radiological and Environmental Management (REM<https://www.purdue.edu/ehps/rem/about/contactphp.php>) team is available to answer questions or provide assistance. The latest COVID-19 guidance for our research community is available on the Purdue Research<https://www.purdue.edu/research/covid-19/> website. The site is being updated regularly with current guidance and answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs) that we receive from Purdue researchers. We understand that you are receiving many e-mail messages related to COVID-19 changes, and we are limiting our distribution to only the most important. Please check the FAQs frequently. Sincerely, Theresa Mayer Executive Vice President for Research and Partnerships Carol Shelby Senior Director, Environmental Health and Public Safety

Fwd: Discovery Park Update -- FW: COVID-19: Updates for Faculty and Staff
by Shakouri, Ali 23 Mar '20

23 Mar '20

Dear All, I assume everybody has received the latest COVID-19 update from Provost/EVPRP on Sunday. They request that anyone returning from travel outside of Indiana should not return to research labs for 14 days. Following the Discovery Park message below, starting from Monday, access card is needed to enter the building all of the time. Based on the emails from faculty in the last couple of days, I see that the responses of different groups to COVID-19 are quite varied. Some groups have asked their students to stop coming to the labs and work remotely, while others continue their research and ask physical* distancing. As a shared facility, we are a resource for the whole campus. Please ask your students to minimize the use of the facility or adjust their schedule so that they can keep physical distance in the offices, labs or the cleanroom. To be extra cautious, we would like to limit the access of undergraduates for 14 days. If any faculty or researcher has an UG whose work is essential and if he/she hasn’t traveled, please let me know if you require an exception. I look forward to hear your suggestions and comments. I appreciate in advance everybody’s commitment to keep a safe community in these difficult times. Best regards, Ali * I use "physical" distancing instead of “social” distancing which is more common these days. While we want everybody to be safe and keep a physical distance, we should be cognizant that many of our students are living far from their family and they need social support. We have a great community and I know many are willing to help in these unprecedented times. Begin forwarded message: From: "Wojtalewicz, Clifford J." <cliffw(a)purdue.edu<mailto:cliffw@purdue.edu>> Subject: Discovery Park Update -- FW: COVID-19: Updates for Faculty and Staff Date: March 22, 2020 at 5:42:24 PM EDT Dear Discovery Park Colleagues, Per the recent guidance (below), anyone returning from travel outside of Indiana should NOT return to campus research labs for 14 days after their return. These individuals should: 1) stay home if sick; 2) work/study remotely; and 3) continue to practice safe social distancing. Additionally, anyone returning from a Level 3 travel advisory country must self-quarantine for a period of 14 days. Because Discovery Park is home for many of Purdue’s interdisciplinary research laboratories, we will limit access to all Discovery Park buildings beginning tomorrow morning, March 23, 2020. All Discovery Park buildings will remain locked further until notice. Directors or supervisors should authorize that faculty, staff, and students meet the newly released criteria for returning to work in research labs. Anyone authorized to use a Discovery Park facility will be able to enter the building using their building key or access card. Building Deputies will be available to assist those without access. Signs will be posted on the outside doors of the Discovery Park buildings by 8 am tomorrow. Building deputies for Discovery Park buildings will be briefed on these restrictions tonight. Please feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions. Cliff Wojtalewicz Director of Operations and Administration Discovery Park 1201 W.

Birck Center operation in light of COVID-19
by Shakouri, Ali 18 Mar '20

18 Mar '20

Dear Birck Research Community, Birck center is open and operates under normal conditions. Since the situation is rapidly evolving, we will communicate if there are any updates from EVPRP and university administration. Here is a good resource about the latest information at Purdue: https://www.purdue.edu/newsroom/releases/2020/Q1/need-to-know-info-about-co… As you know there are extraordinary measures being taken on a worldwide basis to curtail the spread of the COVID-19 virus. A beneficial initiative is called social distancing which involves limiting interaction with other people in crowd situations. This is being deployed in countless ways. Another major initiative is to frequently sanitize one’s hands and common surfaces where others may frequently touch. This virus can live on surfaces for several days. At Purdue all classes are going online after spring break (at least until early April), university travel is being suspended, visitor events to campus and gathering of more than 50 people are being cancelled. These actions are aimed at social distancing. Purdue’s research operations will continue as of now. At the Birck Nanotechnology Center we are implementing the following measures for sanitization and social distancing: * Additional hand sanitizer is being placed at various locations throughout the facility. Please avail yourselves of this often. * A 2% hydrogen peroxide solution, as used in the healthcare industry for sanitization, is being placed in spray bottles in each lab. A procedure will accompany these but essentially one can spray a surface before touching or working and wipe them clean with a lab wipe one minute after spraying. * Be aware of social distancing and strive to keep couple of feet of separation between yourself and others with whom you are interacting. * Cleanroom supplies (shoe covers, veils, bouffant caps) are becoming in short supply due to hospitals stock-piling, so plan to reuse and ration those items as much as possible. * It is highly recommended to wash your hands before entering the labs or cleanroom. * The Birck custodians are wiping door handles and other common surfaces with disinfectant on a more frequent basis. * We’re working with Purdue purchasing and our bulk gas vendors to finalize their pandemic procedures for our house process gases. * Our “Essential Personnel” list has been updated in the event that additional, more extreme measures are taken in the future, including closing of the facility. Please let Ron, Mark, Stephen, Sunil or I know if you have any questions or comments. Best regards, Ali Ali Shakouri Mary Jo and Robert L. Kirk Director Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Birck Nanotechnology Center, Room 1027 Purdue University 1205 West State Street West Lafayette, IN 47907-2057 (765) 496-6105; Fax: (765) 496-8299 shakouri(a)purdue.edu<mailto:shakouri@purdue.edu>

by Turner, Jaime J 03 Mar '20

03 Mar '20

Dear all, BNC would like to help provide food for Kenny's wife (Melissa) and family, many of who will be arriving from out of town. We will be collecting food items such as casseroles, drinks, sandwiches, dips, veggie/fruit trays, chips, etc to take to them. If you would rather make a monetary donation instead we will put those funds towards food items as well. If you would like to contribute, please drop off your food item or monetary donation to either Mary Jo in BRK 1220 or Nancy Black in BRK 2287 by 12noon tomorrow, Wed., March 4th. Updates regarding arrangements will be shared as they become available.
