Shutdown Calendar

The calendar below is intended to provide visibility to scheduled shutdowns in Stanley Hall. All events are coordinated through building staff in conjunction with Facilities Services and Capital Projects.

Shared Equipment Status Tracker

Here’s a Google Sheet that lists all the autoclaves, glasswashers, and ice machines in different locations throughout the building. It identifies which ones are operational and which ones are temporarily out of service.
