Birck PM Shutdown Notice

 

The Birck Nanotechnology Center will be undergoing a semi-annual preventive maintenance and service shutdown October 15 through October 19, 2018.  Air handling systems, exhaust systems, toxic gas delivery, and monitoring systems will be down beginning at 7 a.m. Monday, October 15 through 4 p.m. Friday, October 19.  The BNC staff will be performing appropriate preventive maintenance on the process equipment at this time as well. 

All CLEANROOM research work will be suspended until the maintenance activities 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 systems maintenance.  As such, all LABORATORY activities that involve exhausted hoods, vacuum systems, and/or toxic gas systems will be down beginning 7 a.m. Monday, October 15 through 4 p.m. Friday, October 19.  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 and process tool maintenance will be completed by the end of the day on Friday, October 19.  Please check iLabs for equipment status and availability.

For long term research planning please refer the following future dates for our future preventive maintenance shutdowns.

BoilerKey to be enforced on CAS applications starting Oct. 30th.

 

On Oct. 30, all Purdue faculty, staff and students must use BoilerKey to log in to applications behind the CAS portal.
What does that mean for you?
Nothing will change about how you use BoilerKey, but you will begin to use BoilerKey on new websites. Some of those websites include: Blackboard, myPurdue, Concur, Kronos, Benefitfocus and more. Essentially, if you ever encounter a sign-in box like this, you must use BoilerKey to log in after Oct. 30.

What do I have to do?
Nothing! This email is simply a notice to let you know that the change is coming. We will send a reminder closer to Oct. 30.
If you experience issues with your BoilerKey that you cannot solve, help is available.
