Good Afternoon Colleagues,

I'm sure that many of you have heard the booms and felt the vibrations that have been occurring in the 1:30-2:00pm timeframe on a daily basis. For those who are wondering or unaware of the source, Landmark Construction is conducting blasting activities on North Eagleville Road in the area of the Public Safety Complex. The blasting will continue for approximately six more weeks. Below is a link to the notification that was posted in the Daily Digest on February 9th, 2026.

Just a quick email to inform the occupants of Biology Physics that new lock cylinders have been installed once again in the South Elevator (near loading dock). The new locks are spring loaded so you must rotate the key an eight of a turn and press a floor button at the same time. Return the key back to the horizontal LOCKED position and remove the key. Please do not force key removal in any other position as this will result in a broken key!

Due to the recent changes with research being shut down for an extended period of time, the decision was made to take the autoclaves and washers on the fourth and second floors of BPB off line as of 4:00 today. This will greatly reduce the possibility of leaks/floods causing damage in the building and it is also better for the equipment.

Tue, 12 May 2026 13:25:37 +0000
Good Morning All,

It is time once again for the annual test of the emergency backup power Automatic Transfer Switch in Bio Physics. I've highlighted the date and time below. Historically the test produces a momentary loss of emergency power which can put some equipment into temporary alarm. Normal power circuits will not be affected.
