REVISED PUNS, BUDGET AND SCHEDULE CHICAGO CIRCLE PAVILION (1) The president of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the Board of Trustees approve the revised plans, budget, and schedule presented to the Buildings and Grounds Committee on November 14, 1979.

Further, it is recommended that the Pavilion project budget be increased from $7.5 million to $8.3 million and that the completion date be revised from January 1981 to July 1981. Funds for the increase in the project budget are available from the University of Illinois Auxiliary Facilities System Revenue Bond, Series N Construction Fund Investment Income.
