BNC Preventative Maintenance Closure & Research Equipment Power Outage:
The Birck Nanotechnology Center will be undergoing a closure involving major electrical repairs and completion of our semi-annual preventive maintenance from October 14 through October 18, 2019.
There will be a major electrical power outage involving all research equipment in the center. During our electrical bus duct failure back in February is was discovered that main power to all research equipment
has the same issue that caused the failure in February.
ELECTRICAL work is scheduled from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday, October 14, 2019. EVERY
GENERAL LAB, MAIN CLEANROOM & BIO CLEANROOM AREAS WILL
LOOSE POWER TO RESEARCH EQUIPMENT DURING THIS TIME. ALSO ALL BUILDING WIDE MAJOR UTILITIES WILL BE LOST
INCLUDING Compressed Air, Process Vacuum, Process Cooling Water,
Ultra Pure Water, Acid Waste System, & ETC. Research equipment on UPS or generator power
will not be affected.
Power will be lost to all conference rooms and office areas as well so please plan accordingly to safely power down all office computers and electronic devises in your offices prior to the outage.
All air handling systems, exhaust systems, toxic gas delivery, and monitoring systems will be down beginning at 7 a.m. Monday, October 14 through 4 p.m. Friday, October 18 to complete our preventative maintenance
activities.
Please contact me if you need more detailed information.
