The project will be a two- or three-story wood frame structure and will contain a combination of offices, laboratories, computer rooms, and a classroom/conference area totalling 7,100 net assignable square feet.

On motion of Mr. Madden, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Day, Mr. Forsyth, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Howard, Mr. Logan, Mr. Madden, Mrs. Shepherd, Miss Smith; no, none; absent, Governor Thompson. (Mr. Hahn asked to be recorded as not voting.) (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Filip, Mr. Starkeson; no, none.)

Employment of Architect/Engineer, Orr Animal Research Unit (26) The Eighty-fourth General Assembly appropriated $700,000 to the University for the completion of land acquisition, development of roads, fences, waste handling, water and electrical distribution systems, and construction of animal housing, feed lots, and support facilities. The new facilities will be used in the study of nutrition and management of beef cattle as related to the use of pastures and forages. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends the employment of Architechnics, Inc., Quincy, for architectural and engineering services. The services required through receipt of bids will be on an hourly basis not to exceed $40,500, plus authorized reimbursements, which are estimated to be $5,000. Initially, the firm will provide services to define the program, followed by services required for the preparation of contract documents. Upon receipt of satisfactory bids, the Board of Trustees will be requested to approve contracts for construction and the firm will be employed for construction administration and on-site observation. Funds for the project are available from the Fiscal Year 1987 capital budget. On motion of Mr. Madden, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Day, Mr. Forsyth, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Howard, Mr. Logan, Mr. Madden, Mrs. Shepherd, Miss Smith; no, none; absent, Governor Thompson. (Mr. Hahn asked to be recorded as not voting.) (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Filip, Mr. Starkeson; no, none.) Employment of Architects and Engineers, Capital Development Board Projects, Chicago and Urbana (27) The Eighty-fourth General Assembly appropriated $7,834,000 for certain renovation and repair projects for the University of Illinois to be funded through the "Build Illinois" program. Of the appropriations, the University has allocated $3,284,900 for projects at the Chicago campus, and $4,549,100 for the Urbana campus. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the Board of Trustees request the Capital Development Board to employ architects and engineers for capital projects for Fiscal Year 1987 as listed below. The professional fee for each firm employed will be negotiated by the Capital Development Board in accord with its procedures.
