BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[May 11

eight new laboratory areas with adjacent support spaces at an additional cost of $1,700,000. Recently, the campus requested that additional funds be used to develop unfinished space for an auditorium/lecture hall (as originally programmed) in the building. To complete the interior construction of the 180-seat auditorium/lecture hall will cost $500,000. State statutes provide that the Capital Development Board and the University may contract with each other and other parties on the design and construction of any project to be constructed on University property. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the University now contract with the Capital Development Board in order to finance the work described above at an additional cost of $500,000. University funds are available from the Institutional Funds budget of the Chicago campus.

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