EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:
H istoric Harker Hall, once designated for demolition and replacement, will now undergo a renaissance that will restore the architectural integrity of the building's exterior to its original Italianate style, including the reconstruction of the slate mansard roof. The renewed Harker Hall will add back the original fourth floor space lost due to the fire of 1896. The south entrance, which faces the Quadrangle, will be restored as the main entrance. The building will feature a new plaza on the south and east, a charming setting to enhance the aesthetic appeal of both the Quadrangle and Harker Hall. ** The building's interior will be completely refurbished and modernized to serve as the offices and headquarters of the University of Illinois Foundation, which administers and manages the fundraising efforts of the University. **> Now scattered in various buildings both on and off the Urbana campus, the Foundation will consolidate its activities under one roof. This consolidation will significantly advance the Foundation's mission to increase private funding for the University. A New Beginning For Harker Hall
