3174 Porter occupants – If your lab is currently or will be generating chemical (hazardous) waste, please contact Chris Craig (ccraig@stanford.edu) from EH&S’ Environmental Protection Program to discuss what types and approximate volumes of chemical wastes your lab will be producing.

Dear 1070 Arastradero Colleagues,

Operations and Maintenance technicians have discovered a failed component in the air conditioning system on the roof causing an A/C unit to unexpectedly shutdown. The shutdown of the unit has caused the temperatures to warm up on the 2nd floor, north side of the building. O&M technicians are securing parts for the urgent repair and working to bring the system back into service as soon as possible.

An update shall be provided as the situation develops.

We appreciate your understanding under this unforeseen circumstance.

Dear 1651 Page Mill & 3373 Hillview,

One of our researchers spoke with the Linde Plant Manager at the SOM loading dock.  The Linde Plant Manager is confident that they can supply us with nitrogen by using what they have in the area and close by until their plant is repaired.

Dear 3165 Porter Building Occupants,

While conducting AED inspections, it was noted that the AED cabinet on the main floor near the lobby has a few plants on top which has tracked dirt inside the cabinet and ants surrounding the cabinet.

If these are your plants, I have moved them to the floor underneath the cabinet as AED cabinets should be free and items on top and not to be treated as a shelf. Please pick up your plants promptly as they can also not remain on the floor for an extended period of time either.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Hello 3155 Porter Drive & 3165 Porter Drive Occupants,

In the future, if you have any cellular issues, please report them to the UIT Service Desk at 650-725-4357 (5-HELP) or submit a ticket. 

Thank you,

Vivian
