Hello CNF Researchers,

Beginning on 12/23/2020 the Duffield Hall Atrium doors will be Card Access restricted. You may have noticed some of the doors have already started to be locked. The doors with the card access are still unlocked until tomorrow, when you will need to use your Cornell ID card to get into the building. Anyone with CNF access has had those doors added to their access levels so you should be able to enter the building over break and going forward next year. If you encounter any issues, please email me.

The recent snow storm is a reminder to bring a change of shoes when entering the CNF lab spaces after walking on the campus sidewalks. The rock salt is a big contaminate for the labs and can easily get tracked into those spaces with wet/dirty shoes. We will be expanding the rack/cubby area to the right of the cleanroom entrance for temporary storage of coats, shoes, backpacks, etc.

Also, just a reminder that the cleanroom will be closing at 5pm tomorrow (Wednesday) and re-opening at noon on Monday, 1/4/2021 after the Holiday Break. Second floor labs will remain open over break, but there will be limited staff support for supplies and tool issues.
