Keys Inventory - Action needed
by Farmus, Cristina D 10 Oct '11

10 Oct '11

Good morning, We are transitioning all of our key tracking information to a database. We have all of the forms that you filled out when you received keys, but to make sure that our information is as accurate as possible, we would like your help through a self report survey on the keys related to Forney Hall that you currently have. Please send to Darron Bennet bennetdw(a)purdue.edu<mailto:bennetdw@purdue.edu>, our student helper, an email with the following information for all Forney Hall keys you have: Room Number - characters on front of key - characters on back of key Example: For room 2150: Rm A - 76335X - 6 Additional details: For unrenovated rooms (there are only 20 or so), the "front" of the key will contain 5 numbers and occasionally a letter. For most of the building the key will look like the bottom key in the attached picture and will have 2 letters then 2 or 3 numbers. One exception to the front/back rule is the recently renovated ground floor. For those, please include the number (usually 1-20) that is in the top area of the front of the key as well as what is on the back. If you have any questions, please email Darron at bennetdw(a)purdue.edu<mailto:bennetdw@purdue.edu> or come to see him in FRNY 1060B. Please respond by July 29, 2011.

by Valley, Jeffrey L 24 Aug '11

To All, As Dr. Varma's message indicates, I was in error with my original email reminding the faculty of the policy in place for space assignments within the building- my apologies. If you have any questions, please contact me or as stated below, refer to the attachments outlining the School's policy. Thank you.

I assign all lab space as well. Attached are 2 documents re our School's Space policy, issued in 8-09 - one distributed then to the whole School and the other detailing the Internal Procedures. I suggest that, so that folks are not confused, you may want to follow up with another message to chme and chmegrad, reminding all of the School's Space Policy, by attaching my 8-09 document.
