NOTICE - Discover Park Steam Distribution Shutdown
by Voorhis, Mark L. 15 May '13

15 May '13

To all BNC users and occupants: Due to issues out of our control Purdue Utilities Department requires a steam shutdown for Discovery Park starting on May 16th at 1PM lasting until May 17th at 1AM. Steam is used in our building to re-heat air temperature to maintain ambient set points for offices, laboratories, and cleanroom. The steam shutdown may affect ambient space temperatures, making them as much as 10°F to 15°F degrees colder depending on heat loads in the area. Please secure all research that is sensitive to ambient temperature changes during this period of time.

Landscaping Work to Begin near BRK
by Weaver, John R 05 Apr '13

05 Apr '13

Birck Nanotechnology Center Users - As part of the ongoing landscaping project, work will begin next week (April 8, 2013) on the area in front of the northeast portion of the building. Early work will involve some excavation which could cause vibration in highly sensitive laboratories. The hours of work will be from 7:00 am to 2:30 pm, and the work is expected to last approximately two weeks. The curved sidewalk to the northeast of the front door will be closed, but the main sidewalk and bike path will remain open. The sidewalk to the east of the east stairwell will also be closed, but the sidewalk between BRK and BIND will remain open. As in any outdoor project, the work is weather dependent. In event of rain, the project may extend beyond the expected completion date. Thank you for your understanding during this project. John Weaver John R.

REVISED Shutdown Schedule - BNC East Wing
by Weaver, John R 21 Dec '12

21 Dec '12

Please see the attached shutdown schedule for the east wing of the BNC. Note the second crane lift (details in attached PowerPoint) and the revised laboratory shutdown dates. Also, note the shutdown of all hoods in the east wing beginning next Monday, 17 December 2012. All hoods in the east wing of the Birck Nanotechnology Center will be shut down at 7:00 am Monday morning, 17 December 2012. All hazardous materials - chemical and biological - must be removed from the hoods prior to that time. We hope to have the hoods operational by the end of the day on Friday, 21 December 2012. Please watch for a bnc-facility-notice e-mail and the removal of the signs before using a hood in the east wing. Hoods in the west wing of the facility will NOT be affected by this work. Thank you for your patience during this critical project. John John R. Weaver Facility Manager Birck Nanotechnology Center Purdue University (765) 494-5494 jrweaver(a)purdue.edu

Re: [Bnc-facility-notice] Crane Lift November 30, 2012 - IMPORTANT
by Voorhis, Mark L. 30 Nov '12

30 Nov '12

The crane lift was successfully completed today and all areas are back to normal. Thank you for your cooperation. Mark Voorhis Building Manager Purdue University Birck Nanotechnology Center Office: (765) 494-3036 -----Original Message----- From: bnc-facility-notice-bounces(a)ecn.purdue.edu [mailto:bnc-facility-notice-bounces@ecn.purdue.edu] On Behalf Of Weaver, John R Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2012 10:53 AM To: 'bnc-facility-notice(a)ecn.purdue.edu' Subject: [Bnc-facility-notice] Crane Lift November 30, 2012 - IMPORTANT I think most people in the building are aware of the errors by the contractor in the crane-lift plan last week. The BNC Facilities team, Purdue PUPF, and the contractor are all working to minimize the impact of the problem and the fact that the air handler was not lifted into place last week. The bottom line is that there will need to be two crane lifts to complete the job. THE FIRST LIFT IS THIS FRIDAY! The schedule for the first lift is definite, but the second lift has to be confirmed. Air Handler lift: Friday, November 30, 2012 (THIS FRIDAY!) Exhaust Fan lift: TENTATIVELY Monday, December 17, 2012 As indicated previously, all areas under the lift must be evacuated. Please see the attached slides! We apologize for the inconvenience that this error caused to all of you. We also thank you for your understanding and cooperation during this project. John John R.
