SNF Winter Closure and Cleanup, 12/19/12-1/8/13

Greetings labmembers --

It is now official. The annual winter cleanroom closure will begin on
Wednesday, December 19, at 5 pm. The lab will reopen for business on
Tuesday, January 8, 2013, at 8 am.

PLEASE NOTE: ALL personal items must be REMOVED FROM THE LAB!

Personal storage lockers and lab bins will be cleared out and reassigned
in the new year. Therefore, make sure to remove ALL personal belongings
from the lab by Wednesday at 5 pm. This includes WIP shelves, personal
lab bins, shared labware storage, and the red lockers. Feel free to
make use of the vacuum sealers in the lab to keep your items clean as
you remove them from the lab. And if you are not local and cannot empty
your bin or locker, please get in touch with one of your labmates or a
staff member, who can help you. Bins and lockers will be reassigned in
the new year.

Please be warned: any items remaining in these areas after Wednesday,
12/19, at 5 pm will be removed and dispositioned by staff - and we will
not be responsible for accounting for lost items, unless you contact us
in advance.

SNF staff will be here through Friday, December 21, returning to start
up the lab on Monday, January 7, 2013, in observation of the Stanford
University-wide Winter Closure. During this time, SNF cleanroom,
stockroom, and wafersaw room will be closed. The Allen building will be
open to occupants, but access may be limited due to maintenance and
construction work. On Saturday, December 22, the building scrubber
systems will undergo annual maintenance; we advise staying away from the
building during this time as strong odors may result. The toxic gas
system will be tested on Jan. 2-4, 2013, so there will be audible alarms
throughout the building.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch --

Your SNF Staff
