Air handling systems, exhaust systems, toxic gas delivery, and monitoring systems will be down beginning at 7 a.m. Tuesday, February 5 through 4 p.m. Friday, February 8. All CLEANROOM research work will be suspended until all repairs to the critical power systems are completed and all systems are returned to normal. Only authorized personnel will be allowed to enter the cleanroom during this time period. In addition, the laboratory areas will also be affected by this critical repair. As such, all LABORATORY activities that involve exhausted hoods, vacuum systems, and/or toxic gas systems will be down beginning 7 a.m. Tuesday, February 5 through 4 p.m. Friday, February 8. However, work that involves taking standard electrical measurements may be carried out in the LABS provided that fluctuating air temperature and humidity do not affect the readings. No chemical work will be allowed during this period. It is anticipated that the building repairs will be completed by the end of the day on Friday, February 8. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding during this important critical repair.
