For those who are doing critical research, if any additional laboratory supplies are needed, you need to order it directly since staff will not automatically re-stock supplies. Package delivery is through MMDC (see below).
In general, staff members will not be available for training or equipment repair. If something is urgently needed for critical research, please let Ron Reger (rreger@purdue.edu) know. Please remember that we may not be able to support all activities.
The critical research personnel in the building should continue to practice strict physical distancing and frequent hand sanitation.
There is NO planned power outage so equipment can remain powered on in an idle mode. If it is possible to shut down equipment safely, it is recommended. It is always possible to have campus power outage beyond our control.
Building access will be very restricted with only critical researchers and building staff having card-swipe access through the front door only.
Periodic walk-throughs will be performed by selected staff members in order to watch our critical building and equipment systems.
Bulk gas deliveries, including liquid nitrogen, will continue and staff members will refill LN2 dewars on a periodic basis. For dewar fills please email Steve Jurss (sejurss@purdue.edu)
Critical package deliveries during the shut-down should be coordinated by the receiving research team through Purdue MMDC (Materials Management & Distribution Center) or directly with the shipping company.
