Petroleum Recovery Research Center Phased Reopening Plan
PRRC Plan
PHASE 1 - May 15 - June
Only Essential personnel in the building. Essential personnel are responsible for maintaining essential lab experiments, IT support, metering and monitoring facilities access, and supporting non-essential employees with work-from-home efforts.
A detailed log of all people in and out of the building is maintained on a google drive spreadsheet. Check in and out via Kate Wavrik (lab safety).
All access is via the East door on the Kelly addition, and all exterior locks have been changed to limit unauthorized access
PHASE 2 - July – August
All staff and students who are able to work from home will continue to do so.
This allows better access for people who must work in labs in the building while making safe social distance possible in parts of the building with poor air circulation and narrow hallways.
All workers needing lab access to perform their work are allowed in the building and are considered essential personnel from this Phase on.
Keys still controlled, most work to occur during office hours.
PHASE 3 - August – Unknown
