Research Visitors - COVID-19 Procedures
Boilerplate email to research visitors from sponsoring staff member
| Info | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
This email details important protocols for your upcoming research-related visit to Purdue’s campus. Please review this email, the appropriate links, and return the attached checklist (a pre-filled version of that linked at the bottom) to me prior to your visit. I will be your campus contact/sponsor for the visit, so if that information is requested you can use my name and email. Please be aware that the state of Indiana (link), the city of West Lafayette (link), and Purdue University (link) all have mask mandates that will be in effect for the duration of your visit. If we will be spending >15 minutes closer than 6 feet over the course of the visit, I will need to wear a face shield as a Purdue employee. Please let me know if you would like one as well, and I will ensure it can be provided for you.
Please complete the attached Purdue Research-Related Campus Visitor Safety Checklist and return it to me. In non-COVID information, you may purchase a visitor daily parking permit here. The most convenient parking lot for travel to Birck is the Discovery Parking Lot. Purchasing an "A" visitors permit will enable you to park in the north side of the lot, near the entrance on Nimitz Drive. I can either meet you at the parking lot on your arrival, or you may walk to the front doors of the Birck Nanotechnology Center and we can meet there. |
