EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:
The new Chicago Illini Union, dedicated March 10, 1967, replaces the old Union located in the School of Pharmacy Building. C. F. Murphy, Associates designed the new Union which provides food services, conference, lounge, and recreational facilities for students, staff, and visitors to the Medical Center campus. A simple palette of red brick, sand-blasted concrete, and gray glass combine with refined proportion and detailing to create a low, horizontal contemporary expression not at all in conflict with the Collegiate Gothic idiom of the major campus buildings. The same materials carry through the interior and are complemented by dark-stained oak woodwork and an excellent selection of furnishings. The entire composition is one of quiet dignity and repose. Training facilities of the College of Nursing at the Medical Center will be greatly expanded by its new building now under construction. Designed by Mittelbusher and Tourtelot of Chicago, the building is functional, even severe, and will include classrooms, offices, and some laboratory space.
