Subject: CSB Reminders and Office Closures

Hi all,

I just wanted to send a few reminders regarding security and office closures as we enter the holiday season.


1.        It's during this time of year that we usually see an increase in petty theft from labs and offices.  Please be aware of your personal belongings and refrain from leaving unsupervised laptops, mobile phones, purses, etc., where they may be easily taken.

Also please remember to close and lock doors on the main hallway of the MRB3 5th floor.  Recently, doors were left unlocked when people left after working at night or during the weekend.  If it is after regular business hours (during the week or on the weekend), please make sure the hallway doors are closed and locked even if others are still working when you leave.

If you see someone walking through a secure area without an ID badge, contact Campus Police Headquarters at 615-322-2745.


2.       Vanderbilt University will close Thursday, November 24th, and Friday, November 25th, for Thanksgiving.  The CSB administrative office will close during this time.



3.       Vanderbilt University will observe an extended holiday break this year and will close from Friday, December 23rd through Monday, January 2nd.  VU offices will reopen on Tuesday, January 3rd.  VUMC will not close for the entire duration.  They will observe the holiday schedule of Friday, December 23rd; Monday, December 26th; and Monday, January 2nd.

What does this mean for the CSB?

*  Procurement & Finance offices will be closed so no orders will be processed.  If you need something, contact your lab manager by Monday, December 19th, so that it has time to go through the approval process.
*  Plant ops will be staffed 24/7 for any building issues.  The CSB administrative office will be closed, so Karen will not be here.  Call 615-343-9675 if there is a plumbing/office/building issue.  (If you have a campus phone, you may call 3-WORK or 4-WORK.)  If there is an issue in the wetlab, contact your lab manager regarding the procedure to follow and whom to contact.
*  Custodial staff will be reduced.  Please be aware.
*  FedEx/UPS deliveries may be delayed - if you are expecting a deliver, please post a sign on 5140 door with instructions where to deliver (i.e. your office #).
*  Parking shuttles will follow the VUMC schedule.
*  Door access remains the same for weekdays/weekends.
*  If you have questions about the wetlab during this period, please contact Corey Davis.  There might be an interruption in dry ice and gas deliveries that week.  My understanding is that the backup plan for unexpected freezer meltdowns remains unchanged.
*  Chemistry storeroom will be closed.


Let me know if you have questions.  I will answer them to the best of my ability.  Have a great Thanksgiving!
