We have some exciting things going on in the lab for the last few months. We also have some more exciting new things coming. We are having a big lab clean out.
Why: We are cleaning it out to make more space for lab work with new lab benches, and more space for projects. This means more people will be able to use the lab at once, and we'll have more great community projects happening. We are a volunteer organization so please volunteer to help us.
1. A Dumpster to clean out the cage, Backroom, Lab and offices
2. Shelves for the offices
3. New Lab Benches are being delivered
4. A book case
What this means for:
Members: The Laboratory will be closed from Oct 15 to Oct 21st. The classroom space will still be open the whole time, however materials will start to crowd into classroom, the lab will be closed. All your samples in the freezer/fridges will be unharmed. The lab may reopen early if cleanup activities are finished early.
Community projects: Unaffected except if you need the lab space, which will be closed from Oct 15th to Oct 21st. We could open the lab back up if cleanup activities are finished early.
Volunteers:
We need volunteers to help with cleaning on especially on Oct 15th to clear the cage. Shout out if you can help! These are the tasks I need help on.
