<P><FONT face=Tahoma size=3><SPAN class=154343916-31012007>As you may have
heard, the campus lost power this morning. One aftereffect of the power
loss was the loss of campus-wide steam. To keep the cleanroom at a
positive pressure and to prevent other building issues, we had to shut down all

<P><FONT face=Tahoma size=3><SPAN class=154343916-31012007>The cleanroom is
closed - please do not enter</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma size=3><SPAN class=154343916-31012007>No chemical
processing is allowed in the laboratories - even simple
solvents</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma size=3><SPAN class=154343916-31012007>Temperatures will be
highly unstable. Do not run temperature-sensitive equipment or
processes.</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma size=3><SPAN class=154343916-31012007>The best prediction
from Purdue Physical Facilities is that the steam should be stabilized in 3-4
hours from now, approximately 4:00 pm. Obviously that is an estimate - I
will keep you posted as I learn anything new.</SPAN></FONT></P>
