by Voorhis, Mark L. 18 Jun '19

18 Jun '19

Dear BNC Users - The Birck Nanotechnology Facility closure is over and all systems are back to normal. Repairs to electrical switchboard #3, new exhaust integration, and preventive maintenance activities are complete. The cleanroom and laboratories are now open for operation. Some equipment is still shut down for maintenance, or is in the process of being started back up. Please check iLabs for individual equipment status. Thank you for your patience and understanding during these important repairs, upgrades, and preventive-maintenance activities. Best Regards, Mark Voorhis Building Manager Purdue University Birck Nanotechnology Center Office: (765) 494-3036 From: Voorhis, Mark L.

We have firmed up the dates and plan to move forward with the closure. The plan is to power down all the systems that is connected to Switchboard #3 and fix the exploded bus duct on Monday 6/10/19. From Tuesday 6/11/19 through Tuesday 6/18/19 will involve modification to the chemical exhaust system and complete the spring preventative maintenance for the center. Systems that was effected during the February power failure will be repeated on Monday 6/10/19 from 11AM to 3PM. Please contact me if you need more detailed information.

We are currently dealing with multiple major building events that involve closure of the Birck Nanotechnology Center. We wanted to reduce the number of closures to one. We are in the middle of a capital project with Purdue Physical Facilities Department to add lab space and upgrade chemical exhaust systems for the cleanroom. We have 3 major building events. 1) Integration of the cleanroom chemical exhaust system involves cutting into the cleanroom chemical exhaust in four locations to connect 20,000 CFM exhaust system. 2) Fix the 3000 amp building power feed that failed on February 3 super bowl Sunday requiring shutdown of all building HVAC systems. 3) Complete the normal spring preventive maintenance activities. We need to push our preventive maintenance closure normally scheduled for the week of April 29, 2019 back to a tentative date starting the week of June 10 lasting until June 18. The June 10 to June 18 date is tentative due to the delivery of the main exhaust fans for the cleanroom exhaust project. The longer closure is needed to complete the 3 major events in one closure. We will send an update when the chemical exhaust fan delivery is firmed up.

Access to Bindley
by Totten, Mary J 04 Mar '19

04 Mar '19

Everyone, In the next week or so, the parking on the west side of Birck will permanently close. Purdue is asking us to park in the Discovery parking lot across from DLR. In order to give you better access to Birck, Bindley has agreed to give us after-hours access to their building. You must fill out the attached form and make a copy of your Purdue ID, then present them to Susan McCreery at Bindley. This is a generous offer, so make sure to treat Bindley as you would here in Birck. You must use your Purdue ID, since the Birck ID only works at Birck. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you, Mary Jo Totten Building Logisitics Coordinator 1205 West State Street Office BRK 1220 West Lafayette, IN 47907-2057 (765) 496-1173 [cid:image003.jpg@01D4D26F.5EFDEF50] From: McCreery, Susan A <smccreer(a)purdue.edu> Sent: Monday, March 04, 2019 9:20 AM To: Nikolaidis, Natasha N <nnikolai(a)purdue.edu> Cc: McCreery, Kameron M <kmccreer(a)purdue.edu>; Totten, Mary J <tottenm(a)purdue.edu>; Voorhis, Mark L. <mvoorhis(a)purdue.edu>; Brown, Donna J <brown746(a)purdue.edu> Subject: RE: Access to Bindley Mary Jo, Yes, access through the main hall, 2nd floor or main floor can be accessible for Birck folks. I will need a copy of each person's Purdue ID, if they want access and an occupant form to be filled out (see attachment). We did this a while back, when the temperatures were really cold (see attached email). Please let me know if you have any questions.

BRK Network Infrastructure Upgrade on 3/11/19 & 3/13/19
by Totten, Mary J 19 Feb '19

19 Feb '19

ITaP and its partner contractor Presidio will be upgrading Purdue's campus data network and wireless system in BRK which will require periodic outages as the new equipment is installed and brought online. Network switch replacement will involve a total building outage, including VoIP phones, the night the new switches are activated. We plan on upgrading your building on Monday, 3/11 and Wednesday, 3/13. The upgrades will begin at 11:00 P.M and last until 6:00 A.M the following morning. Since your building is larger than other buildings on campus we need an extra day to finish the upgrade. After the first night's maintenance is complete at 6:00 A.M networking services will resume like normal until the Wednesday night maintenance begins at 11:00 P.M. In addition, as new wireless access points are installed there will be periodic losses of wireless coverage in areas where these access points are located, while the old access points are being retired and the new access points are being brought into service. The interruptions should be less than 10 minutes per access point. If you have questions, please send an inquiry to network-rollout(a)purdue.edu<mailto:network-rollout@purdue.edu> Sincerely, Garrett Williams, Network Operations Manager

NOTICE - Birck Nanotechnology Center Cleanroom & Labs Back to Normal Operations
by Voorhis, Mark L. 11 Feb '19

11 Feb '19

All BNC User, It appears that the power interruption was internal to Wade Plant where a switch failed causing a fault to trip a power feeder that supplies power to parts of campus and not all of campus. The tripped feeder also shutdown 2 out of 3 steam boilers at the Wades Power Plant and large campus chilled water system. The incoming campus steam pressure and campus chilled water appear to be back to normal. At this time cleanroom, all lab spaces, toxic gases, and chemical exhaust systems are up and operational. The power outage also interrupted research equipment and high vacuum systems which are in the process of being re-started. Please check iLabs for individual equipment status.

Dear User, Last Sunday evening we experienced an unplanned major power outage that shutdown our building systems and closed all lab and cleanroom operations. We also had a UPS repairs scheduled for this week that will close our lab and cleanroom operations for this week and was planned several weeks ago (email below). These signs have been posted on all doors at the same time as the email. We have recovered this afternoon from the unplanned power failure from last Sunday evening. But we still need to complete the UPS repairs planned for this week as well. At this time we hope to have the UPS repairs completed and have all lab and cleanroom operational by Friday at 4PM. An email notice will be sent out if the repairs are completed earlier. Please contact me if there are any questions or concerns.
