[Preplabstudents] Celeste Freight Elevator

[Jackman, Jane]

Thanks for the clear protocol, Tyler- sounds good.  Hopefully this one will go smoothly and quickly!

Lab supervisors-  I don't know what this will be like for the first few weeks or so, but I'm wondering if it is worth mentioning this to the instructors too at instructor meetings so that they can mention in lectures that students will need to keep this in mind when they are trying to get to lab (maybe leaving an extra few minutes)

Best,
Jane

Subject: Celeste Freight Elevator

Hi Everyone,

Starting Monday September 9th, the freight elevator in Celeste will be shut down until at least the end of November so that it can be modernized. This is the elevator that we use to transport chemicals and waste between the prep lab and the gen chem labs on the 2nd and 3rd floors. With the freight elevator unavailable, we'll be using the passenger elevator as needed. Alternately, the elevator in Evans can be used. You would need to take your cart across the glass walkway into Evans, catch the elevator, then take the glass walkway back into Celeste.

Dr. Moore has requested that if chemicals or waste are being moved in the Celeste passenger elevator, only the personnel moving these items travel in the elevator, no other passengers. With that in mind, the general population can still use the passenger elevator, but priority will be given to those that need it for accessibility reasons and for the transportation of chemicals and waste. If a priority individual needs to use it, we'll pause chemical and waste transportation and allow them to complete their journey first. We strongly encourage students to use the stairs when possible. Students also have the option to use the elevators in McPherson, Newman-Wolfrom, or Evans. Although those elevators will not get them to the 4th floor in Celeste, they will at least cut down the number of stairs they will need to take by getting them to the third floor.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Best,
Tyler
