FYI. From: David Edward Schippnick <dschippn(a)purdue.edu> Date: Monday, April 6, 2026 at 10:26 AM Subject: SELB building, domestic water and steam shutdown. All Purdue Indianapolis Site Directors, Please see the Steam/Water shutdown details below for the EL building on Sat. April 11th. Let me know if there are any questions or concerns and pass along as needed. Thanks, Dave All, On Saturday, April 11, CFS needs to make repairs to the domestic water system. This will result in water and steam to be shut down on the 11th. The proposed shutdown time will be from 5:30am - 4:00pm. We anticipate the repairs to not take this long but are in place for the worst-case scenario. During this time, there will be no domestic water to the building. This will affect restrooms, drinking fountains, eye wash, emergency showers, and steam. Because steam will be affected, there will be no building heat to the building and no steam available to any autoclaves if any exist in the building. Steam has to be shutdown as domestic water is utilized as a cooling agent. The reason for the shutdown is to install a new isolation valve on the domestic water system and to replace several other valves in line that are involved with the water softeners. We believe one of the current valves is permitting city water to mix with softened water and is leaking by. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Parents Weekend, April 17 - Looking for ME Student Groups & you!
by Zachary Daniel Sigafoes 01 Apr '26

01 Apr '26

Hello, The College of Engineering will host an event from 1-4pm on Friday, April 17th in the ET Atrium. ME, ECE, BME, EPICS & more will all have a table with various games or products featured. Mechanical Engineering (me & whoever else would like to join) will wheel out the popcorn machine and serve popcorn. If you'd like to be a part of it or if you'd like to just be a guest, please feel free to join us. I'm writing to ask for you help with contacting student groups. I've been asked to reach out to our student groups and offer for them to join in hosting a table or being represented at this event. I have a list of contacts for groups that I've been able to connect with last semester and will reach out to presidents and associated/listed faculty advisors. Please feel free to share this email with student group leaders/presidents and let them know that we're looking for ME student groups to have a table at this event. It doesn' t need to be for the full event (1-4pm), but we're looking to get as many groups to have a table as there's room. In the near future, a flier will be produced so that this event may be promoted. Thank you, Zach Sigafoes - Executive Assistant Purdue University in Indianapolis SL 260S 723 West Michigan Street Indianapolis, IN 46202 zsigafoe(a)purdue.edu<mailto:zsigafoe@purdue.edu> - 765.495.7703 [cid:bf639100-5a11-474c-a9fa-8659eba707d7]
