NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE (NMR)

A request is made for funds to renovate and relocate the University ofMinnesotaNMRfacilityfromthefirstfloorofNilsHasselmoHall(NHH)toaremodeledMayoParkingGarage (MPG). TheprimarymotivationforsuchrelocationistheimpendingdevelopmentoftheLightRailTrain(LRT)ontheWashington Avenue corridor although additional factors include a lack ofexpansionspaceandaccesstonewtechnologies.

The NHH NMR facility supports $110 million in grant funding from 160researchersacross22Universitydepartmentsaswellasundergraduateandgraduateteachingandworkshops.Thecuttingedgeresearchconductedin this facility has advanced discoveries and treatments in the areas ofcancer,AIDS,heartdisease,musculardystrophy,paralysis,diabetes,stroke,infectiousdisease,bonedisease,andAlzheimer’s.Thefacilityalsosupportsactivitiesfromtheregionthroughworkshops/laboratorycoursesforgraduate& undergraduate students, industry service samples, and consulting tosmallerinstitutionsespeciallyinDuluth,Oklahoma,andIowa.

The LRT problem: The construction period involved with the LRT projecthasbeendescribedas“years”andremainsilldefined.TheproximityoftheWashingtonAvenueLRTprojecttothecurrentfacility(30’-50’)makesusingequipmentinthefacilityessentiallyimpossibleduetodigging,poundingandearthmovingequipment leading toexcessivevibration. Indeed, theNMRmanufacturersindicatethatacceptablelimitscanbeachievedifthefacilityislocatedinexcessof300feetfromtheLRTline.WithintheNMRfacilityinNHH,experimentsrun24hoursperdayforsometimesmorethan7straightdays,suchthat“workingaroundtheconstruction”isnotaviableoption.

BWBRArchitects


Expansionspace:ThecurrentNMRfacilityinNHHhousesseveralmagnetsusedforsolutionandsolid-stateNMRexperimentsandisatcapacity.ThespaceallocatedtothefacilityislimitedverticallybytheproposedLRTsystemandbedrockbelow.ExpansionlaterallysuffersfromthesamevibrationalandEMIforcesnotedpreviously.Newlargertechnologymagnetsrequirehigherverticalaccess(20+feet)thaniscurrentlyavailableinthefacility.Moreover,thecurrent footprintof theNHH facility isatmaximumdensity. Assuch,thecurrentfacilitycannotaddnewtechnologywithouteliminatingmachinesandsuchnewermachinescannotbeinstalledduetoheightrestrictions.

Newtechnologyacquisition:UofMNNMRspecialistsarecurrentlytravelingto Florida, Georgia and Wisconsin to use the most up-to-date magnetscapable of making measurements on larger complexes and assemblies.The current NHH facility makes it impossible to acquire such magnetsand thereforedrivesproductive facultyelsewhere fordatacollectionandanalysis.

Impact on Job Creation The Light Rail Line project itself will employ hundreds of engineers,manufacturers,andtradesmenforseveralyears.Asaderivativeofsuchaproject,therenovationandrelocationoftheNMRfacilitywillhaveasimilarimpact, albeit on a smaller scale. The project is anticipated to employteamsofdesignengineers,mechanicalcontractorsandfacilitiesemployees(estimated at 10-20) who will manage and oversee the remodeling andrelocation. Inaddition,numerous trades-peoplewillbeemployedfor theactual building of the facility and relocation. Lastly, the facility currentlyfacilitatestheresearchofover200UniversityofMinnesotastaffmemberswhowithoutsuchafacilitywouldnotbeattheUniversity.AlargefractionofsuchscientistsandengineersarelikelytoleavetheUniversityifwehavenosuchresources.

REPORT: Limited Building Survey

TO: Pete Nickel CPPM Small and Mid-Range Projects

300 Donhowe Bldg 319 15th Ave SE Minneapolis, MN 55455

FROM: Jayd Lindom Facilities Management Hazardous Materials Program (FM-HMP) 1521 4th Street SE Minneapolis, MN 55455

SUBJECT: Limited Asbestos Survey – Mayo Garage Mayo Building 420 Delaware Street SE Minneapolis, MN 55455 FM Project No.: 01-074-09-1459

Scope of Work: A limited asbestos building material survey was conducted in May of 2009 at the Mayo garage. The purpose of this survey was to identify asbestos-containing materials (ACM) as defined by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Any material that is greater than 1% asbestos is considered to be ACM. The intent of the survey was to identify both friable and non-friable suspect ACM, identify non-friable ACM that may become friable under demolition or renovation conditions.

Project Description Asbestos: Samples where collected in May of 1994, FM-HMP verified the materials to be consistent with the 1994 survey. Depending on the scope of work, more investigation may be required. There was no destructive surveying done at this time. Results of asbestos analyses are listed in Appendix I of this report. Appendix I is formatted to provide a room by room inventory of suspect ACM, the asbestos content of each material listed, and friability. EPA and Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) Asbestos Rules regulate friable ACM (material may be reduced to powder or dust under hand pressure) and ACM that may become friable under demolition or renovation conditions.

The following friable or potentially friable materials tested positive as ACM:

< 4” Pipe Fitting Insulation on White Fibrous< 4” White Fibrous Pipe Insulation< 4” Felt with Tar Pipe Insulation



< 4” Fibrous Pipe Fitting Insulation on Felt< 4” Pipe Fitting Insulation on Cork4”-8” Pipe Fitting Insulation on White Fibrous4”-8” White Fibrous Pipe Insulation4”-8” Felt with Tar Pipe Insulation4”-8” Pipe Fitting Insulation on Felt4”-8” Pipe Fitting Insulation on Fiberglass9”-14” Felt with Tar Pipe Insulation9”-14” Pipe Fitting Insulation on Felt

The following suspect materials tested none detected (ND) as ACM in the building:

< 4” Fiberglass Pipe Insulation < 4” Pipe Fitting Insulation on Fiberglass < 4” Cork with Tar Pipe Insulation 4”-8” Cork with Tar Pipe Insulation 9”-14” Pipe Fitting Insulation on Fiberglass 12”x12” Splined Pinhole Fissure Ceiling Tile 2’x2’ Pinhole Mini-Fissure Ceiling Tile 4”-8” Fiberglass Pipe Insulation 4”-8” Fiberglass with Tar Pipe Insulation Ceiling/Wall Plaster Concrete Block Mortar Clay Tile Mortar Garage Floor Sealant Brick Mortar White Block on Fiberglass Line

NMR Magnet Relocation to the Mayo Parking GarageThe relocation of the magnets will require a coordinated effort betweentheUniversity, theMovingCompany, theNMRfacility,andtheContractor.This is due in part to the specific requirements that each magnet has tobede-energized,crated,shipped,andinstalledwhilemaintainingaverticalposition.Weightandsizewillalsobeaconsiderationbutitisexpectedthatallthemagnetsexceptforthe800MHzunitcanbetakenoutofthebuildingby the way they were brought in.

The existing parking ramp was constructed in 1951. In addition to theramp, theMayoAuditoriumandtheMayoMemorialMedicalCenterwerebuilt on the west and south ends of the ramp.

Re: Light rail interference with NMR lab operation

Dear Beverly:

This letter is intended to summarize the technical concerns regarding the operation of your NMR systems

located at Hasselmo Hall during and after the planned construction of the light rail system on Washington

Avenue.

Of concern are in particular the vibration levels during the construction activity, as well as the fluctuating

magnetic fields generated by the operating current of the light rail line during regular operation. The general

requirements for these parameters as needed for stable and artifact-free NMR operation are listed in our site

planning guide to be less than 5µg of vibration at frequencies below 5 Hz and less than 2mG of magnetic field

fluctuations at frequencies below 5 Hz.

It is expected that the earth moving and structural reinforccment construction activities within less than 80ft.

of your instruments will create vibrations at levels substantially above the tolerated threshold. This will

adversely impact the spectral quality of all instruments, as the vibration isolation characteristics of all your

NMR magnets are similar. The most severe quality degradation will be seen on the instruments achieving the

highest signal-to-noise level, with ghosting lines appearing at the random vibration frequencies. Advanced

NMR solution-state experiments will likely be impossible to perform during periods of heavy construction

activities. There is a chance that solid-state NMR experiments can be performed during the construction.

The longer-term concern is related to the magnetic field fluctuations associated with the operating currents of

the light rail line during normal operation. The impact of those fields on the actual NMR results will vary

based on the magnet type, the proximity to the light rail line, and to some degree of the type of NMR

experiments, but will in all cases add noise and potential artifacts to the measured data. Based on the

proximity of the light rail line of ca. 75ft to 100ft to your magnets, the estimates of the field fluctuations

caused by the light rail line range from ca. 20 mG to more than 50 mG, worst at the locations closest to the

light rail line. This exceeds our siting guidelines by 10x to 25x and would translate to approximately 80 Hz to

more than 200 Hz of resonance frequency change, attenuated only by the magnet characteristics.

The magnets in your lab can be grouped in three general categories:

¥ The unshielded 800 MHz magnet is most sensitive to magnetic field fluctuations due to its particular

design constraints and will not provide much attenuation. It will not be able to provide adequate

stability for any high resolution NMR under the anticipated conditions.


¥ The unshielded 500 MHz and 600 MHz magnets, and likely the older shielded 700 MHz magnet,

have somewhat reduced sensitivity to magnetic field fluctuations and provide a bit better attenuation.

They can typically be operated in fluctuating fields that exceed our guidelines by a factor of 3-5x, or

less than 10mG. However, at the anticipated magnetic fluctuation levels I would not expect that

adequate magnetic stability can be achieved to run even routine liquid-state NMR experiments.

¥ The newest shielded 600 MHz and 700 MHz magnets have design features to substantially suppress

magnetic field fluctuations and are much more tolerant towards fluctuating magnetic fields. They are

likely able to operate for a subset of liquid-state NMR experiments with satisfactory results when

using a field lock. However, they are currently configured and used for solid-state NMR where field

locking is not possible. The expected residual field fluctuation for those magnets is somewhere

between 5 and 10 Hz, which will be detrimental to the spectral quality of modern high-resolution

Biosolids experiments. Lower resolution solids experiments can probably be performed without much

visible degradation in data quality.

In summary, most of your NMR instruments will not be useable during parts of the construction, and will no

longer be able to generate high-quality or even generally useable liquid-state NMR data once the normal light

rail operation has started. The instruments equipped to run solid-state experiments may be less impacted and

could be expected to operate without much degradation in data quality for a subset of the typical solid-state

experiments. Some subsets of Biosolids experiments will experience significant degradation in spectral

quality once normal light rail operation has started. Upgrading your lab at the existing location to new

magnets with optimized suppression of external field fluctuations is unlikely to fully restore your current

experimental capabilities. Based on these conclusions, we are recommending a relocation of the NMR lab to a

location substantially further away from the planned light rail route.

Please feel free to contact me should you have any additional questions.

Sincerely,

Knut G. Mehr
