Facility Updates

MIT.nano has received notification of additional supply limitations with Hand Protection Products from our vendors. Please follow gowning protocols and conserve supplies as much as possible. The community’s diligence in conserving these supplies will allow the lab to continue operation without interruption.

The next MIT.nano user update meeting will be held on Wednesday, December 16, at 2pm via Zoom. The main focus of the December meeting will be the upcoming phase II tool move from Building 39 to Building 12. Read more in this facility update.

Vendors are encountering global raw material shortages and supply chain constraints in regards to cleanroom nitrile gloves and blue booties.

Learn about new processes to maintain MIT.nano supplies in this update.

If you will be on campus during the holidays and have sufficient cleanroom experience, we strongly encourage you to sign up for 24-hour access. Learn more in this update.

IS&T reported issues / outages with Atlas/CovidPass cloud servers this morning. 

This week, IS&T upgraded the server hardware and the card readers in Building 12. The new system is similar to all other buildings on campus.

MIT will be closed on Thursday, 11/26 and Friday, 11/27 for the Thanksgiving Day holiday. As usual during Institute holidays, the fabs in building 39 and building 12 will not be staffed, so they will be only open to qualified 24hr users who must follow the buddy policies in each fab.

Mechanical week in Building 39 is November 16 – 20, 2020

There will be no access to the fabs in Bldg. 39 during this time. The fabs in Bldg. 12 will be open as usual.
