Facility Maintenance Status/Cleanroom Opening (Update Feb 2nd)

UPDATE 02/02/2023

Hello CNF Researchers,

The majority of the work involved in the facility maintenance has been completed to date- (rehab of the air handler, cleanroom HEPA filter replacement, corroded duct replacement.) There are still a few minor items yet to be competed by the construction team -(thorough cleaning of the lab space, measuring and balancing fo the air flows, measuring and verifying particle counts, sanitizing of the DI water system, etc.)  Additionally, CNF staff will need time to restock the lab, start up and verify tools that have been sitting idle for 2+ months are functioning.

We are targeting a cleanroom re-opening date of Monday 2/20/23 for your planning purposes. While we are confident that the remaining task items will be completed in time, we will communicate if anything happens to delay the re-opening.  

As a reminder, the 2nd floor lab spaces, CAD room, and packaging lab (P155) are all currently open to researchers.
