As part of the upgrade, The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry has added its facilities to the database to co-ordinate meetings in the department. Meyerhoff rooms 120, 123. 241, 272, 351 and 545 are all now scheduled through R25live. Any of the personnel in the administrative offices can schedule events in these spaces. Room 272 will have a black-out period during class scheduling each semester after which Lab meetings for CHEM 299, 399 and 499 along with  CHEM 601 and CHEM 710  may be scheduled for weekly or bi-weekly meetings. 

Keys for the rooms and equipment cabinets must still be signed out at the front desk and returned upon completion of the meeting.

The project will take place in two phases, the installation of the air handler into the sub-basement and then the actual installation into the Administrative suite and offices, along with rooms 120, 121, 123, 125 and the associated Hallways. The work in the first floor will commence on or about December 18th and continue through the Spring, with a target date of April 2nd to re-occupy the space. The Provost's office along with Facilities management is looking into possible spaces to host the department and faculty displaced during the upgrade. I'll keep everyone updated as I get new information.

Some of the changes: 

Deliveries will be once a week, but the deliveries will be in increments of 240 liters as opposed to the 160 tanks we used to get. 

Tanks will be filled, instead of swapped. We used to have Cryogas take tanks which were under a quarter full and replace them with a full tank. Refilling the tanks will allow us to have a more accurate cost of actual usage compared to the prior service.

The second floor tank will be locked in the space with the dry ice. If you need a key for this room please come by the Administrative offices to get one. 

Helium, Argon or any other high volume cryogen needs to be ordered on an as needed basis. Please ask Creighton Smith for details.
