Renovation Countdown: 7 days!!

Hi all --

The critical permits have been approved so construction is officially
underway. The permit approvals were one of the key risk factors in this
project, so things are moving well and are on schedule.

Just a few reminders:

1. Make sure to remove all your personal items from the lab. ALL of
them. Remove them from bins, from WIP racks, from shared storage. If
someone you know isn't aware of this, please make sure they are informed
-- we will be losing about 1/3 of the bins in the lab to make way for
new equipment and stockroom supplies, so we will be revamping the lab
bin process. To start fresh, everyone will need to clear out all the
bins -- and rollarounds, and shelves, etc. Any personal items left in
the lab will be removed by Staff. We will store the items but please
understand we can't be responsible for possible loss or damage.

2. The last day the lab is open is Wednesday, 12/14/11. Because we
have to make the lab safe for construction, many tools will be brought
down before this date, as toxic gas lines need to be purged, wet bench
drains need to be flushed, all small tools will be removed from the
lab. A schedule for individual tool shutdowns has been posted to the
SNF website -- but be aware that dates may change as we get nearer to
the time. Please refer to the schedule, but check on Coral for details.

Finally, thank you for your patience -- we realize this renovation is
inconvenient for you all -- meaning your help and cooperation are that
much more appreciated --

Thanks again -

Your SNF Staff
