Increase in Budget; and Amendment of Architectural Agreement, Satellite Recreation Structure, Urbana (36) On July 18, 1985, the Board of Trustees authorized the employment of Isaksen, Matzdorff, Glerum & Associates, Architects, Urbana, to plan and design a satellite recreation structure, the project to be included in the 1985 Series Auxiliary Revenue Bond issue at a cost of $1 million. The firm's fee through the receipt of bids was on an hourly basis, the total not to exceed $55,000. During the preliminary planning, it was determined that the facility desired could not be built within the funds available, and the project requirements were reevaluated. The architect now has redefined the project and has provided cost estimates for a facility of 15,000 gross square feet to be located adjacent to Freer Gymnasium, with court facilities for basketball, volleyball, general recreation activities, an office/administrative area, storage, and related facilities. The revised project budget is $1.6 million. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the project be increased to $1.6 million and the agreement with Isaksen, Matzdorff, Glerum & Associates be amended to a fixed fee of $90,000 for the project as revised. This project will be financed from the proceeds of the Series 1985 Auxiliary Facilities Revenue Bond issue. O n motion of Mr. Wolff, these recommendations were approved by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. CaJder, Mr. Forsyth, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Howard, Mr. Logan, Mrs. Shepherd, Miss Smith, M r . Wolff; no, none; absent, Governor Thompson. (Mr. H a h n asked to be recorded as not voting.) ( T h e student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Evenson, Mr. Wylie; no, none.) Combined Remodeling, Talbot Laboratory, Urbana (Amendment of Contract) (37) "Build Illinois" funds were allocated in Fiscal Year 1986 to convert the east end of the crane bay in Talbot Laboratory into office and laboratory space. The firm of Isaksen, Matzdorff, Glerum & Associates, Architects, Urbana, was employed to provide professional architectural/engineering services. The University now has received a matching grant from the U.S. Department of Education for another remodeling project in Talbot Laboratory. After consultation with the architect and the Capital Development Board, it was determined that the most cost-effective means for undertaking the two projects would be to combine them. The combined project would involve the remodeling of 18,000 net assignable square feet in both east and west bays of Talbot Laboratory to provide office, laboratory, and classroom space for research and instruction programs in the College of Engineering and the Graduate College. The estimated total project cost is $1,965,000.
