Building Restrictions Friday 6/12/2026
by Jason W Davenport 03 Jun '26

03 Jun '26

Hello all, Next Friday June 12, there will be temporary restrictions for a portion of our building during most of the morning. A crane will be onsite outside the south portion of the Old Wing of Forney in order to repair a fan on a ventilation unit. Per Purdue EHS, all floors in that section of the building will need to be clear of occupants during the hours of 8:00 am - 12:00 pm. Please plan accordingly to be vacant from this wing during this time period. If you have an office in this portion of the building, please make arrangements to work in an approved portion of the building or from home if approved by your supervisor. If you have lab(s) in this portion please prepare before to have them unoccupied during this time period. For reference below, the south portion of the building to be restricted is the right side of the image; outlined in a red rectangle (ignore the date on the image as I'm reusing it from a previous similar event): [cid:5b1f5ff1-3d8d-497b-9947-b15089afb8bf] I will update if any further advisories are given to me. Thank you.
