crowded starting in mid-afternoon through early evening. Part of our issue was that most students were not qualified to work during non-staff hours. One of our solutions was for our staff to start later in the day, more in line with the hours students worked.
We also considered qualifying post-docs to supervise the lab. We also considered reducing the rate for early morning use. The most useful idea was having the supervising Prof. tell their students to get up earlier.</span></div>

<div>Hi Savitha,<br>
<br>
I would start by recalling where the maximum capacity of 50 came from. If it was determined based on a code (fire, building) you have to stick to it and look into strategies to spread out the work in the cleanroom. If it was not based on a code, I think you
have flexibility in allowing 70 users in at a given time if they do not "bump into each other".<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
<br>
Iulian<br>

We are experiencing a high number of people in our cleanroom, with 50-70 users at a time against a maximum capacity of 50. I would appreciate it if you could share strategies used in your facilities to reduce the number of people in the cleanroom. Do you have
any restrictions on students during the day or any incentives for working after office hours, for both startups and industry?</div>
