Today in the inorganic area of the BION, TSS and EH&S are conducting a training exercise. We are not shutting these rooms down but be aware that there could be up to 12 people in the room with you while you work. This will be going on from 8:30am – 11:30 and 12:30pm – 3:30pm today.

The HF bench will be down today after 4:30pm. It will be available again tomorrow morning.

The HF bench will be down today from 12-6pm in order to run the dicing saw. The dicing saw will be moving back to its original location in the INRF soon so this shouldn’t happen too often.

Today approximately 1pm the fire alarm in Calit2 went off and the building had to be evacuated. It was later found out that it was due to users using improper materials in one of the furnaces in rm 1401. This is the second time this has occurred therefor the furnaces will be off limits until we come up with a solution. We will notify you when they are available (Please do not ask staff)

INRF Front office will be closing @ 2pm today for the labor day holiday. Monday is a campus holiday therefor the office and acid rooms will be closed. Please use the back door keycard reader for INRF building access.

The BION is back to the 24hr schedule to those with access. Thanks for your patience.

INRF

  • The INRF will be closed this Saturday (08/13) in order for Facilities to perform maintenance on the compressors.
  • The DI water in the INRF is still down due to leaks within the facility. We are still working on getting these repaired.

BION

  • No after-hours use is still in effect until after the 27th (Special permission will be granted if staff is on site)
  • The exhaust issue seems to be under control but stay vigilant and pay attention to the alarms in case the issue arises again. Facilities is still investigating the cause.
