Before the lockdown, we were *this close* to getting our own walk in freezer set up. It will also be housed in the Instruments building, so no more walking across campus in the rain with samples. A room in the back corner of the warehouse was cleared out and the floor given a nice paint job. That's gray with specks of different shades of blue. We taped off the location for the walk in and awaited its arrival from culinary depot. It arrived stacked nicely on a pallet and the refrigeration team went ahead with installation.
I walked away late morning to attend a meeting and by the time I returned it was already assembled. They were so fast!
Meanwhile, they cleared a space in the back for the refrigeration unit.
And here it is! The electrical work has been completed. We're just waiting to return to campus to plug it in and start getting cold.
Then we can move over our microscope, microtome, and gear so we can start making samples and imaging them.
