1996] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 579 The vice president for business and finance concurs. I recommend approval. On motion of Ms. Reese, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Calder, Mr. Engelbrecht, Dr. Gindorf, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Lopez, Mrs. O'Malley, Ms. Reese; no, none; absent, Dr. Bacon, Governor Edgar. (The student advisory vote was: Mr. Malone, Mr. Mathew, Mr. Rose; no, none.). Supplemental Funding for Remodeling South Building, Alumni Hall, Chicago (Contract with Capital Development Board) (19) On April 8, 1994, the Board of Trustees requested the Capital Development Board to employ the firm of VOA Associates, Incorporated, Chicago, for remodeling the south building of Alumni Hall at the Chicago campus. The original project cost of $5,004,448 consisted of remodeling 65,000 gsf in the south building of Alumni Hall to provide general office areas. The fifth floor remodeling will accommodate the display needs of the Department of Art and Design. Modifications to the elevator, the entrance to the building, and other elements will be required to meet accessibility standards. In addition, upgrades to the mechanical and electrical systems will be completed. Subsequently, it has been determined to be in the University's best interests to include additional demolition of the masonry base from an abandoned rooftop water tower and repair the exterior masonry walls within the scope of the project. The additional work is estimated to cost $125,000. 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 University officers, recommends that the University now contract with the Capital Development Board in order to finance the work described above at the additional cost of $125,000 to the original project. Funds are available from the institutional funds operating budget of the Chicago campus. On motion of Ms. Reese, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Calder, Mr. Engelbrecht, Dr. Gindorf, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Lamont, Ms. Lopez, Mrs. O'Malley, Ms. Reese; no, none; absent, Dr. Bacon, Governor Edgar. (The student advisory vote was: Mr. Malone, Mr. Mathew, Mr. Rose; no, none.). Delegation of Authority to Award Contract for Electrical Upgrade at Roger Adams Laboratory, Urbana (20) This project will provide additional electrical power to support the instruction and research requirements of the School of Chemical Sciences. The additional electrical power shall be supplied from a nearby distribution center. The project includes new switchgear in the distribution center, underground electrical duct, a new underground transformer vault at the northwest corner of Roger Adams Laboratory, and a new transformer in the vault. Since this project needs to meet scheduling needs of the Phase II Remodeling of Roger Adams Laboratory, it is essential that a contract for construction be awarded
