FAARM at 4850

  1. Description/Name: The entire clean room area that includes a water shielded section with screeners and ultra-sensitive water tank, but also any clean machine shop, assembly, sample storage which is outside the water shield. Does not include the shared assembly space outside the clean room.
  2. Planned use (be specific):
    1. Primary function: Screening of materials and Protoyping of experimenta to be used in DUSEL experiments
    2. Temporary and permanent storage: temporary radon-free storage of materials awaiting screening,
    3. Sample and detector handling:
    4. Jigs, fixtures, scaffolds, etc. necessary: Specified under subunits PLUS
      1. ?? here or under material handling??
      2. overhead crane in water shielded room (30 ton)
      3. platform and clean room over tank(s)
      4. scaffolding to access the water shield and the muon veto
      5. stairs and platforms for water tank and shield
  1. E & O activities: Some screening time reserved for outside projects from schools and communities. Projects will need approval from E&O organizers
  2. Occupancy:
  3. Steady: 5
  4. Peak: 30
  5. Adjacencies (list/distance):
  6. Space size (gsf and/or WxLxH): Need to start making pictures
  7. Experiment Systems:
  8. Shielding:
  9. Floor load (PSF): Divide into different rooms (water shielded room, water shield itself, clean areas 1st floor, clean areas 2nd floor)
  10. Weight of ultra sensitive tank
  11. Weight of shielding around the screeners
  12. Offices with people and computers
  13. Weight of water shield (ouside floor with tank??)
  14. Machine shops (machinery)
  15. Storage and sample handling containers
  1. Material handling
    1. overhead crane (30 ton) - don;t double count
    2. Clean fork lift
    3. Clean carts
    4. 3-4 moveable cranes
  1. Finishes (walls/floor/ceiling):
  2. Casework:
  3. Storage:
  4. closets for clothes/bunny suits
  5. nitrogen purge cabinets
  6. Furniture/Fixtures/Equipment (non-experiment):
  7. Mechanical:
    1. Environmental conditions:
    2. Clean class:
    3. Ventilation:
    4. Exhaust:
    5. Plumbing (domestic, waste, systems):
      1. hazardous waste disposal
    6. Fire Suppression:
    7. Building Management System:
    8. Fume hoods:
    9. Chilled water
      1. Purified water here instead??
    10. Other:
  8. Electrical:
    1. Power (clean and dirty):
    2. Lighting:
    3. Low Voltage/Data/Communication:
    4. Fire Detection/Alarm:
    5. Other:
  9. Acoustical: no special requirement
  10. Vibration Isolation: ??
  11. EMI/RFI Isolation: ??
  12. Hazardous materials:
  13. Special Consideration (expansion, etc.):
