be entered into with Ellington Miller Edmonds, Inc., for the assignment of the other prime contracts. It is also recommended that Holabird & Root, Chicago, be employed to provide the professional services required for the contract administration and periodic site observation during the construction phase of this project at a lump-sum fee of $80,250. The project budget, based on the award of these contracts (including alternates), for the construction and architectural services is $4,285,520. Funds of $4.06 million are being provided from gifts to the University of Illinois Foundation, from Helene R. Foellinger, and the balance required from the institutional funds budget of the Urbana-Champaign campus. It is contemplated that the project budget will be $4.45 million as a result of change orders and additional services which may be required of the architect/engineer. Additional funds to finance the budget increase will be provided by interest earnings from the gift funds, estimated to be at least $160,000. Accordingly, it is further recommended that the project be approved at this level. A schedule of the bids received has been filed with the secretary of the board for record.

When the addition to the Nuclear Physics Laboratory was constructed to house a 300 MeV Betatron, it contained an earth wall within the building's enclosure to shield the occupants from the radiation produced by the accelerator. When the Betatron was removed and the present Microtron accelerator was installed, a movable type of shielding was provided directly around the accelerator, eliminating the necessity for the earth wall. This project will convert approximately 1,280 square feet of this shielded area to offices, electronics laboratory, and space
