Dear BNC Users - All building systems are back to normal operation. The physical facilities maintenance crews have been focused on cleaning BRK cleanroom early this morning to speed up cleanroom recovery. Going forward please use ILabs to check on the status of the research tool. All research tools in the center did lost power as well and the recovery time could be lengthy. * Laboratory HVAC (Operational) * Cleanroom HVAC (Operational) * Chemical Exhaust Systems (Operational) * General and Public Spaces HVAC (Operational) * Ultra-pure Water System (Operational) * Process cooling water (Operational) * Acid Waste System (Operational) * Toxic Gas Delivery/Monitoring (Operational) * Research Tool (Check ILabs for status) We are sorry for the unscheduled electrical interruption that was out of BRK's control. Please let us know if you notice anything unusual in the research spaces.

All general labs are open for research but the cleanroom remains closed. Update 7/25/24 @8:20PM * Laboratory HVAC (Operational) * Cleanroom HVAC (Tomorrow PM - cleanroom to decontaminate) * Chemical Exhaust Systems (Operational) * General and Public Spaces HVAC (Operational) * Ultra-pure Water System (Operational - Below UPW specification) * Process cooling water (Operational - Low tank level) * Acid Waste System (Operational) * Toxic Gas Delivery/Monitoring (Tomorrow AM) * Research Tool (Check ILabs for status) From: Bnc-facility-notice <bnc-facility-notice-bounces@ecn.purdue.edu<mailto:bnc-facility-notice-bounces@ecn.purdue.edu>> On Behalf Of Voorhis, Mark L.

There was a fresh dead squirrel found in one of the switch gears outside that shorted between power phases in our gear. The cleanroom went slightly negative during the power outage so it will take up to 24 hours before the cleanroom to stabilize and decontaminate. I will update the follow list as conditions change in the building. * Laboratory HVAC (TBD) * Cleanroom HVAC (24 hours for cleanroom to decontaminate) * Chemical Exhaust Systems (TBD) * General and Public Spaces HVAC (1-2 hours) * Ultra-pure Water System (TBD) * Process cooling water (TBD) * Acid Waste System (TBD) * Toxic Gas Delivery/Monitoring (TBD) * Research Tool (Check ILab for status) Best Regards, Mark -----Original Message----- From: purduealert@purdue.edu<mailto:purduealert@purdue.edu> <purduealert@purdue.edu<mailto:purduealert@purdue.edu>> Sent: Thursday, July 25, 2024 12:01 PM To: Voorhis, Mark L. <mvoorhis@purdue.edu<mailto:mvoorhis@purdue.edu>> Subject: ALERT: West Lafayette Power Outage [You don't often get email from purduealert@purdue.edu<mailto:purduealert@purdue.edu>.
