POSTED 02/21/2022
The cleanroom shutdown for HEPA filter replacement and other important work has been pushed to DECEMBER 2022. We will NOT be shutting down either the cleanroom or 2nd and 3d floors this month !!
Sorry for late notice and the prior announcements and impact on your activities, this is the result of a week of assessment between contractors, project management, stake holders, and university management to minimize overall effect on Duffield occupants.
We know that many of you have worked feverishly during the last month to meet the previously announced shutdowns. We are sorry for that disruption, but we believe that this delay to December (on or about Dec 19th) best serves all our users.
It is planned that during this December 2022 shutdown the corroded acid exhaust duct which was not part of the original project will be replaced. However, if further examination indicates that this repair cannot wait we will need to briefly shutdown the cleanroom to replace the acid exhaust duct. We will communicate the status of this as soon as we have more information.
