Stretching the Harvard Management Model so as to resemble other institutions, the answer<a></a> is 'yes.' the Cleanroom<a></a><a></a> and other Center spaces are maintained by central Facilities. The Director of the Center focuses on maintaining<a></a> the
tools, training users, and managing the Center for Nanoscale<a></a><a></a> Systems (CNS). He is also the major tenant of the LISE lab, which houses the Center. In a Customer Services oriented central facilities organization<a></a>, being a tenant is more
powerful position than it sounds. The building systems serving CNS are my responsibility. The maintenance of those systems are my responsibility. The majority of the work associated with those responsibilities is performed by outside contractors<a></a>
under Facilities supervision, and the Directors review and approval. Examples: <br>
<br>
1. The cleanroom<a></a><a></a> floors are cleaned by a specialty contractor, managed by central Facilities.<br>
2. The mechanical equipment is maintained under a full service contract currently held by Siemens.<br>
a. maintenance schedules are set and monitored<a></a> by central Facilities.<br>
3. The cleanroom<a></a><a></a> is recertified annually by an outside contractor. Recertification and repairs needed to achieve recertification are paid by central Facilities<br>
4. Emergency needs are responded to by central Facilities<br>
5. Routine needs are responded<a></a> to central Facilities, often using Contractors.<br>
6. Life Safety systems (TGMS, etc.) are maintained<a></a> by central Facilities.<br>
<br>
Central Facilities is responsible for<a></a> maintaining the <em>building</em> and <em>building systems</em>. Central Facilities is responsible for maintaining what
<em>exists</em>. The Center is financially responsible for <em>new</em> things, and the tools associated with the Center. It's not a perfect system, but we all try to make it work.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The issue of training for internal personnel is probably locale specific. If our Center was not in an urban area, probably more work would be done internally. But given the
<em>specialty</em> nature of much of the work, and the ready availability of specialty contractors in our area, the choice is not too hard.<br>

<br>
Good Afternoon.<br>
<br>
We are trying to determine who will maintain the systems that will serve<br>
Penn's new cleanroom<a></a><a></a> and hope that you can share some of your experience<br>
with us.<br>
- Who maintains your cleanroom<a></a><a></a> air handling equipment (e.g. external<br>
contractor, Central Facilities)?<br>
- If the maintenance is done by Facilities, what kind of additional<br>
training/certification do you require?<br>
<br>
Thank you very much for your help.<br>
