June 4th 2016 flood in EECS 1480

In the morning of 6/4/16, there was a sprinkler release in the fan deck area of the 1480 (new) clean room space, which essentially flooded all of the floors below. All equipment in 1480 EECS is currently off-line and there is no user access to that area of the lab. We are working on a plan of action to bring back up equipment, as well as clean air to the facility. For reference, there was never a fire within the fan deck area, the high temp condition was caused by a maintenance function. The ROBIN lab, and the 1440 (older) cleanroom area are not affected and remain open.

Please refer to the Online Services Scheduler for updated equipment status or look at the following page June 2016 water damage for updates: .
