Official date for re-opening of currently closed rooms

All CIP pools and other rooms from ground floor to second floor that are currently closed due to fire safety regulations will be re-open on Monday, April 15th.

New fire safety regulations

Note: Obviously this was posted on April Fools' Day

Due to ongoing revisement of our fire safety procedures, we hereby announce the following change in our rules.

To reduce the amount of flammable material contained in a room, only non-flammable garments will be allowed henceforth. Due to various benefits to health, comfort and radiation protection we recommend, depending on your taste and weather conditions, the use of Tremolite, Carbonite or aluminum foil. Please also refrain from bringing any harmful chemicals such as Dihydrogenmonoxide to avoid the formation of flammable gasses through thermolysis.

Furthermore, we would like to announce a number of openings for the exulted position of "sniffer (f/m)". Your task will be to survey the surrounding air for byproducts of exothermic reactions and initiate emergency procedures on detection thereof. Similarly, the position of "runner (f/m)" is available for sporting individuals able to cover the distance from the CS building to the Erlangen fire station in less than 10 minutes, should the diesel backup power unit and thereby the fire alarm system fail unexpectedly.

Re-opening of currently closed rooms

Currently ongoing work to upgrade fire safety installations is scheduled to be finished by 2013-04-15. If everything goes according to plan, the CIP-Pools and lecture rooms that are currently closed will be reopened in time for the new semester.

Power supply tests on March 20th

The backup power supply was repaired, so it will get tested on Wednesday, March 20th, starting at 7 am. Again, the CIP pool will not be available during this time, as we will shut down everything until the tests are over (hopefully around 9 am).

Several CIP pools closed temporarily

The following CIP pools are closed for the time being:

• 00.153-113, 00.151-113
• 01.153-113, 01.155-113
• 02.151-113

The CIP pool 0.01-142 (Martensstrasse 5a, Casa Huber) is still usable (and now open for everyone), so is 02.135-113. Printer ps2ccip will stay online and is moved to 02.135-113. All other printers will be shut down.

Power supply tests on Saturday

This Saturday, January 12th, the backup power supply will be tested, starting at 7 am. The CIP pool will not be available during this time, as we will shut down everything until the tests are over (hopefully around noon).

Christmas holidays

During the christmas holidays (until January 7th) no consultation hours will take place. You can contact the administrators via email in urgent cases. The rooms will be accessible by our usual card lock system.

Merry christmas and a happy new year!
