Air handling systems, exhaust systems, hazardous gas delivery, and monitoring systems will be down beginning at 7 a.m. Monday, May 4 through 4 p.m. Friday, May 8. 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. No one 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, May 4 through 4 p.m. Friday, May 8. No chemical work will be allowed during this period. At the same time Physical Facilities electrical department will be completing major modification to the isolation grounding system in all general laboratories. Outlets in the laboratory with a label starting with "S" will be powered down 8 a.m. Monday, May 4 through 4 p.m. Friday, May 8. It is anticipated that the building and most process tool maintenance will be completed by the end of the day on Friday, May 9. Please check Coral for equipment status and availability. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding during these important preventive maintenance shutdowns. If you have any questions or concerns please contact Mark Voorhis.
