BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[October 20

(The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Didato-Castillo, Mr. Rose; no, none.)

Increase in Project Budget, Office of Admissions and Records Building and Utility Infrastructure, Urbana

(13) On June 10, 1994, the board approved the proposed project budget of $5,156,680 for the Office of Admissions and Records Building at the Urbana campus. The project includes planning, construction, utilities, site development, and landscaping. The 31,000 gsf (17,500 nasf) facility will house the Office of Admissions and Records, currently located in three buildings on campus. The proposed three-story building will be located south and east of the Levis Faculty Center on Gregory Street; and the scope of the project will include steam and electric utility extensions (originally estimated to be $1.1 million), site development, and building construction. Revisions were necessary in the utilities program statement due to resiting of the building from immediately south of Levis Center to a site south and east of Levis Center, resizing of the utility extensions to serve a two-block area, and the extension of a utility corridor east on California Avenue. The utility infrastructure extensions will include new chilled water lines, steam and condensate mains, and electrical distribution center upgrades, which will also accommodate future facilities to be located in the same area. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the project budget be increased from $5,156,680 to $5,859,797 (an increase of $703,117). Funds for the project are available initially from Campus Institutional Funds with anticipated reimbursement from a future Auxiliary Facilities System bond sale for the Office of Admissions and Records building.

On motion of Mr. Lamont, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Dr. Bacon, Mrs. Calder, Dr. Gindorf, Mr. Grabowski, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Lopez, Ms. Reese; no, none; absent, Mr. Boyle, Governor Edgar. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Didato-Castillo, Mr. Rose; no, none.)

(14) The president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends the employment of Architectural Spectrum, Champaign, for the professional architectural and engineering services required for the remodeling of the cafeteria in the lllini Union at the Urbana campus.

The $1.0 million project will remodel the existing serving area and will provide self-contained food stations which will adjust to changes in consumer preference and will include upgrading the exhaust, heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems.
