Shopweb is a dynamic entity, as is the facility it supports. This
is where changes to rules, policies, and procedures will be posted and
linked. Users of the facility are required to stay current on these
changes, so we recommend that you check here if it's been a while since your
last visit. It is our hope that the users of
Shopweb will return often to see what has changed and to suggest changes that
can improve it's usefulness.

September 19th, 2005
| Started a fairly major update. New materials include the Access
Control & Monitoring pages, along with the documents required for
access to the facility. All safety related materials, such as the
Safety Contract and safety rules have been evaluated and modified as deemed
necessary. ALL USERS OF THE FACILITY ARE REQUIRED TO READ AND SIGN A
NEW CONTRACT (called the Safety
and Access Agreement) PRIOR TO WORKING IN THE FACILITY. Even if
you have an old contract on file, you must read and sign the new one.
If you wish to use the facility at times other than "Open Shop",
you will also be required to complete an access
control card application. |
| We are continuing with installation and implementation of the access
control and CCTV monitoring system for the West Wing. As with most
things, this task has turned out to be much more complex and substantial
than anticipated (Rule of pi). The difficulty lies in the
sophistication and integration of the systems as well as trying to account
for the unforeseen. We have bench-tested the systems, developed a
flexible integration plan, and installed the initial battery of
components. These will be evaluated for improvements and modifications
while we continue running the remaining cable and other
infrastructure. |
| Facilities and Operations have been working hard to complete the
installation of the remaining electrical power, and have finished installing
the main air compressor. We now have building air and have power to
all primary equipment. |
| I have been told that all of the financial aspects of providing our
computer network for the facility have been worked out, and the installation
is imminent. This is very good news, and long anticipated. |
August 12th, 2005
| If you are signed up for MAE 115 (or know someone who is) and don't have
an assigned class section, contact me at once. |
| We have begun installation and implementation of a state-of-the-art access
control and audio / video surveillance system for the West Wing.
Details of the system and it's use will be covered on a separate page linked
here and on the main page. Essentially, anyone desiring to enter the
Facility will require either an access control card / badge, or under some
circumstances may be escorted. Provisions are being made to offer
several orientation sessions at the beginning of each semester to provide
the essential information required to obtain one of these cards. |
| Continuing to work on electrical power, organization and the many other
tasks required to be ready for Fall. |
