Retired
 
It is a challenge to keep CMR equipment up-to-date in a constantly changing industry.  As new equipment and technologies are deployed on campus, older ones are retired.  Our strategy is to maintain technologies that have been targeted for retirement for one academic year before removing it from inventory and discontinuing support.  During the transition year, alternatives are identified, and old equipment is scheduled for disposal, for transfer to departments that want to maintain it, or for dontation to area schools.  Here's a list of some retirees:
