All laboratories within the School of fundamental Science (SFS) at Massey University are required to meet PC1/PC2 compliance to function as a “Containment Facility”. In order to continue to meet compliance SFS has installed security doors throughout Science Towers C and D to restrict and control access to laboratories. A security door has been installed on level 3, right next to the Science Tower D lift, which restricts free access into the Massey Genome Service (MGS) laboratory.
For all customers outside of SFS who require access to the Massey Genome Service laboratory to either hand deliver samples, or to talk to our staff, FIRST must go to the SFS administration office where you will be instructed to sign for a temporary access card. The access card needs to be returned to the SFS admin office before you leave the building. The SFS admin office located on the 4th floor of Science Tower B, room ScB4.08.
SFS admin office contacts are:
· Cynthia Cresswell: ext 84706
· Ann Truter: ext 84703
Natisha Magan and Andy Trow will also be holding a supply of temporary access cards, which you can use:
· Natisha Magan: location – ScB3.33, ext 84588
· Andy Trow: location – ScA3.18, ext 84601
Please contact Natisha Magan or Andy Trow if you have any concerns.
If you only need to drop off samples, the MGS laboratory has a small fridge that you can put your samples in. The fridge is located on the 3rd floor of science Tower D, just outside the security doors and opposite the lift. This will save you having to go to the secretary’s office on the 4th Floor of science Tower D, to sign in and get a temporary access card, each time you deliver samples to the service.
