This page displays 2022 announcements and updates for the Lurie Nanofabrication Facility.

December 25: EECS building closure due to flood

12/27/2022: There were network issues in the building today Dec 27 between 1 and 3pm as ITS was working on repairs, which affected the Online Services and Wiki. Network has been restored and LNF systems are accessible again.
12/26/2022: The LNF is expected to re-open Tuesday 12/27/2022. Note that the EECS building may not be fully re-opened yet, so entrance must be made from the east (LNF/Beal Ave) side and the only access allowed is to LNF spaces.
12/25/2022: Due to a flood on the 3rd floor, the EECS building is closed until further notice.

Fee Schedule Update Effective January 1, 2023

Fee schedules are expected to be updated in January 2023, pending approval from the U-M office of Enterprise Financial Planning & Analysis:

Key updates are:

  • Room rates (daily and entry fees) will not change.
  • Most tool rates will increase by about 3%, i.e. for academic rates +$1/hr or +$2/hr above their current value.
  • Due to higher maintenance/consumable costs on a few tools, their rates will go up by more than 3%. None of these increases exceed +$3/hr above their current academic rate.
  • The JEOL e-beam lithography tool rate will not change.
  • The usage and billing structure for PDMS processing is changing: PDMS kits will no longer be shared among the user community: they will be purchased by users, and the Solvent 94 bench rate will decrease accordingly.
  • Note that costs for store items are updated regularly to adjust to market conditions.
