If you already have essential personnel card key access to the Physics Store (this also applies to anyone coming in for liquid nitrogen or liquid helium), please check the Outlook calendar “Varian Physics Lab 115 Stockroom” before coming in. No new customer card keys will be added until Stanford re-opens every building.
The Physics Stockroom (also known as the Physics Store) is a self-serve hardware and lab-supply store. We serve research groups in various science and engineering departments at Stanford.
