Biosafety Cabinet notes
by Weaver, John R 10 Jan '13

10 Jan '13

All - Attached is a description of various types of biosafety cabinets and the BNC strategy for biosafety cabinet purchases. I pulled this together from various sources, relying mostly on the BMBL. Please feel free to distribute it as you feel it is appropriate. It goes into more detail than the existing Purdue Biosafety Manual, especially appropriate for those without a lot of experience in specifying biosafety cabinets. A special thanks goes to Guy Telesnicki, Lisa Reece, Bob Golden, and Jim Leary who provided additional technical information and reviewed the document. John John R.

Shutdowns are coming - Bio Wing Expansion Update
by Weaver, John R 03 Oct '12

03 Oct '12

To all faculty who use the east wing (1st and 2nd floor) of the Birck Nanotechnology Center: We had a very disappointing turnout at the meeting this morning to discuss the upcoming shutdowns of the east wing of the BNC. This project is underway, and it is important that you are both informed and prepared regarding the impact the construction project will have on these laboratories. One shutdown will also affect some office areas. Note that the first shutdown that will impact the laboratories is just over a month away - November 12! I have attached the presentation slides and the shutdown summary spreadsheet to this e-mail. In addition, I have posted the shutdown tentative schedule on each of the laboratory doors in the east wing. The presentation lays out what actions are needed and when those actions need to be completed. The most urgent action is the generation of a priority list of hoods that will need to be shut down prior to the beginning of construction. Lisa Reece is coordinating that activity, and will be in touch with key faculty in that wing. Please let your needs be known to her so they can be incorporated in the plan. In most facilities on campus, a notice would go out that the particular wing of the building will be shut down for a set number of months and researchers would need to develop alternative plans. In the BNC we are NOT doing that - we are working with faculty to develop a plan that minimizes research downtime and accommodates your needs. To accomplish this, however, we need input from you. If you would like me to schedule another meeting to discuss the project, please drop me an e-mail to that effect. If you would rather talk to me individually, that is fine too - I'm here to minimize the impact of this project on your research. Please understand that a construction project is something like a freight train rolling down the tracks. Once the schedule is set and the momentum is gained, it's not something that can be stopped in any reasonable time. If changes are needed to the tentative schedule, they must be incorporated now - there may not be an opportunity to change things closer to the actual shutdown dates. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding during this very complicated project. John John R. Weaver Facility Manager Birck Nanotechnology Center Purdue University (765) 494-5494 jrweaver(a)purdue.edu

BNC East Wing Exhaust Project
by Weaver, John R 25 Sep '12

25 Sep '12

BNC Faculty using the East Wing of the Birck Nanotechnology Center - Things are finally moving along on the exhaust project for the East Wing of the BNC. The air handler has been ordered and I have now received a schedule from the contractor. Construction will begin in November, 2012, with a shutdown of all exhaust in that wing in the first couple of weeks. This shutdown is expected to last about 4 hours. Other events - including shutdowns - will take place between November, 2012, and February, 2013. There will be a meeting to discuss the details of the project and the shutdowns on Wednesday morning, October 3, at 9:00 AM in BRK 1001. If you are active in the east wing of the BNC, please plan to attend or to send a representative. There will be plenty of time for discussion and plenty of opportunity for input - while we know that the project will be intrusive to your research, we want to make it the least intrusive that we can. We will be soliciting ideas from you that we can incorporate into our planning to minimize any impact on your research. If you cannot attend, please send a representative who can help us in this planning. This project has been a very frustrating experience, with several false starts and changes in contractors and PUPF leadership. We are now poised, however, for a very effective project that will greatly expand our capabilities in the east wing of the BNC. I am looking forward to kicking off the project with you, and am committed to making this go as smoothly as possible. John John R. Weaver Facility Manager Birck Nanotechnology Center Purdue University (765) 494-5494 jrweaver(a)purdue.edu

F&A Reporting for Birck Office Space - Sent on behalf of Trina Clawson
by Jeff Goecker 29 Jun '12

29 Jun '12

Please take a couple minutes to complete this form: https://purdue.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_cBcVQAkJPJywyry Dear Birck Faculty- It is time once again for Purdue to prepare the required documentation to review the F&A rate for the University. Part of this review requires us to submit documentation on the use of office space within Birck. I will need your help to determine what type of work is done in your office as well as your students. There are several categories that can be used to identify the work. They are: Organized Research- Space that is used for research and development activities that are separately funded and accounted for, funded by third parties which can be either federal or non-federal. This would also include activities that are funded from cost share. Departmental Research- Includes space used for research and development activities that are part of one's professional interest, support by gift or endowment funds, includes seed and start-up fundingand includes any indirect cost recovery money. Other Sponsored Programs-Space used for activities that are sponsored by third parties, both federal and non-federal funding which involves performance of work other than Research or Instruction. Ex: service projects, travel grants, seminars and conferences. Instruction-Space used for instructional activities which includes teaching and training activities, course preparation, study areas for students and academic advising of students. Fellowships would also be included within this category. I will need for you to provide me with a breakdown of your office usage for the period of fiscal year 2012 (July 1, 2011-June 30, 2012) using the categories listed above. They will need to equal 100%. Please be sure to let me know ASAP if you have any questions or if you need any additional information. Please get this information back to me no later than Sunday, July 15th, 2012, so that I can submit it to Purdue costing. Please take a couple minutes to complete this form: https://purdue.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_cBcVQAkJPJywyry Thank you in advance for your cooperation and assistance in completing this study. I appreciate it! Trina Trina Clawson Business Manager Purdue University Birck Nanotechnology Center Network for Computational Nanotechnology (765) 494-1619 tclawson(a)purdue.edu
