MIT.nano staff are increasing TRL gowning capacity by adding “Akrobins” to allow users to store garments in plastic bags. Here’s how it works:
- Always start by trying to find a locker.
- If all lockers are taken, you engage one of the “TRL-Akrobins” (this way, the bags are only needed toward the end of the week, i.e. for shorter periods of time. This avoids having gowns fermenting inside a bag for five days)
- You can put your bunnysuit and hood (1) inside a ziplock bag, (2) write your name on the bag, and (3) store it in the bin. There are three bins, each should fit four bags easily (thus 12 akrobin tools in CORAL)
- We will set up the bins next week, and label them appropriately
- Please don’t use the bins as garment hampers or trash bins.
