Annual Lab Shutdown: Dec. 16, 2010-Jan. 4, 2011

Dear Labmembers -


The lab will be shutdown from Thursday, December 16, 2010, at 7 am and
reopen for business on Tuesday, January 4, at 7 am. Please plan your
experiments accordingly.


Please also consider this a warning: lab cleanup will begin 6 weeks
from today (Dec. 14). All personal items NOT stored in lab bins will be
removed from the lab starting that day. This includes wafer boxes,
tweezer boxes, tool boxes, etc. In the CAD room (Allen 151), all
storage bins not labeled or with dates older than one year will be
removed. Storage bins must be transparent plastic (no cardboard boxes
allowed.) All items that are removed from the CAD room will be
disposed of.

For building occupants:
- The University is shutdown campus-wide from Monday, Dec. 20 - Monday,
Jan. 3. There will be no regular staff during this time and some
building utilities may be unavailable.
- There will be live testing of the toxic gas detection system, so
building alarms will go off during testing on Thursday-Friday, December
16-17.
- Toxic gases will be shut off on Dec. 16 and turned back on Monday, Jan. 3.
- The scrubber exhaust system will be cleaned on Saturday, December 18.
Because of the strong odors anticipated, the building will be closed.
- All power will be shutoff to both Allen and Allen X buildings on
Tuesday, December 21, for preventive maintenance of the substation.
Make sure your equipment and electronics are safe against power down and
power up.

Thanks for your attention,

Your SNF staff
