114 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [November 17 2. The Library Second Addition should be increased from 44,293 NASF to 68,000 NASF and be located as a high-rise structure on the west side of the existing structure rather than as a four-story addition on the northwest corner. Under such a proposal, the Capital Development Bond funds required can be reduced from $4,969,500 to $4,881,700. (The decrease in cost despite an increase in space results from a change in type of space.) 3. The reduction in total space of the above projects necessitates a re-evaluation of the utility requirements. The Power Plant authorization of $1,535,800 provided for expanding the heating capacity to meet the additional requirements of the space in the above buildings. The original authorization of $17,426,900 for the Science and Engineering South Addition included $1,092,575 for a cooling system for that building and for the Classroom Office-Student Services Building, Library Addition, and an addition to the Architecture and Art Laboratories. The additional cooling requirements were planned in the Science and Engineering South Addition because at the time of the original planning, sufficient land area for this and future anticipated heating plant expansion was not available at the existing utility center site. However, in view of Master Plan-Phase III enrollment ceilings and accompanying reduced need for new space, it is possible to locate all utility requirements in the present Power Plant. Based on a realistic construction schedule, it is now estimated that $2,954,900 is required for utility expansion. The total changes in the scope of the three projects results in a reduction in space from 194,888 NASF to 133,000 NASF and a reduction in Capital Development Bond funds required to construct these projects from $23,932,200 to $14,445,900. The budget request for funds for fiscal year 1974 submitted to the State Board of Higher Education includes an Architecture and Art Laboratories Addition with 50,000 NASF at an estimated project cost of $4,176,100. It is proposed, therefore, that inquiries be made of appropriate State officers and agencies concerning the possibility of using the Capital Development Bond funds appropriated for FY 1973, which will not be used because of program reductions, for the planning and construction of the Architecture and Art Laboratories Addition. Based on the above, the President of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends that: 1. The Science and Engineering South Addition be reduced from 150,595 NASF to 65,000 NASF, and the additional cooling requirements originally included in the Science and Engineering South Addition be concentrated in the existing Power Plant. (The Capital Development Bond funds assigned to the Power Plant project would then be increased from $1,535,800 to $2,954,900.) 2. The Library Addition be increased from 44,293 NASF to 68,000 NASF. 3. The foregoing changes in scope be transmitted to the State Board of Higher Education for approval. 4. Appropriate State officers and agencies be consulted as to the possible use of Capital Development Bond funds appropriated for FY 1973 for the planning and construction of the Architecture and Art Laboratories Addition. On the motion of Mr. Swain, these recommendations were approved by the following vote: Aye, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Neal, Mr. Steger, Mr. Swain; no, none; absent, Dr. Bakalis, Governor Ogilvie, Mr. Pogue. C O N T R A C T FOR ROOFING REPLACEMENT AT ALLERTON H O U S E (12) The President of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends award of a contract in the amount of $39,360 to Hitchins Roofing Company, Inc., Urbana, the low bidder, for roof replacement to the Dining Hall and other miscellaneous roofing work at Allerton House. Funds are available in the General University budget and have been allocated to this project. A schedule of the bids received has been filed with the Secretary of the Board for record. On motion of Mr. Hahn, this contract was awarded by the follow-
