(25) On October 10, 1991, the board authorized the award of a contract to Peck/ Jones Construction Corporation, Chicago, for the general construction work for an addition to parking structure D-1 at the Chicago campus. Recently, the Campus Design Review Committee has recommended and the chancellor concurs that the appearance of the completed structure will be enhanced by installing face brick on three of the existing snow chutes, the seven-story elevator tower, and the exposed concrete spandrels around the building perimeter at the ground floor level.

Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the contract with Peck/Jones Construction Corporation, Chicago, be increased by $214,652 to perform the work described above. Funds are available from the proceeds of the Auxiliary Facilities System, Series 1991 Revenue Bond issue.

Chicago Master Plan Addendum and Land Acquisition/Condemnation Resolution

(26) In May of 1990, the Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois approved the current master plan for the Chicago campus. Subsequently, and in recognition of the need to update certain aspects of the campus plan, the University initiated actions to prepare an addendum to this plan to provide for the development of additional facilities in the area bounded by Morgan Street, Roosevelt Road, Union Street, and the railroad right-of-way at 16th Street. The addendum provides a physical framework for the growth of the campus within which both near- and long-term capital improvement projects can be accommodated. The addendum will also serve as a guide for the location of future buildings as well as landscaping, parking, and circulation routes. In October of 1991, the Board of Trustees acted to confirm their previous authorization of land acquisition and to authorize university counsel to initiate eminent domain proceedings with regard to certain privately owned parcels in the university land acquisition area. The president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, now recommends approval of the addendum as a general guideline for the long-term growth and development of the Chicago campus. Further, it is recommended that the attached resolution1 be adopted to authorize
