Lab Closed, May 27th - 29th
The lab will be closed to all users from 6 AM Tuesday, May 27th, until mid afternoon on Thursday, the 29th. This shutdown is so that maintenance can be done on campus and building wide utility systems. The cleanroom and all second floor lab space of the CNF will be closed. The offices and CAD room will still be available except for a few brief periods Wednesday morning. The time of the lab reopening on Thursday afternoon is not set, as it depends on how quickly the building systems return to normal.

Contact Dan Woodie with any questions or concerns regarding this closure.
