Additional Improvements, Auditorium, Urbana

(22) On November 17, 1983, the Board of Trustees authorized the award of construction contracts for the renovation of and addition to the Auditorium at the Urbana-Champaign campus at a cost of $4.45 million. The project was then to be financed from funds of $4.06 million provided from gifts to the University of Illinois Foundation from Helene R. Foellinger, the balance from the institutional funds budget of the Urbana-Champaign campus. Interest earnings and the appreciation of Miss Foellinger's gift as of December 31, 1984, have produced a total of $4,675,600 now available for the project. When the trustees authorized the award of construction contracts, further improvements in the project were reported, but funds for them were not available. Those improvements included landscaping, carpet for the gallery, a lighting control board, and additional stage rigging and lighting. Since the funds are now available, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the project budget be increased in order to provide funds for the reinstatement of the contemplated improvements. The project should be completed by the end of March 1985.

On motion of Mr. Forsyth, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Day, Mr. Forsyth, Mrs. Gravenhorst, Mr. Hahn, Mr. Howard, Mr. Logan, Mr. Madden, Mrs. Shepherd, Miss Smith; no, none; absent, Governor Thompson. (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Lamm, Mr. Pittman; no, none.)

Contract, Remodeling McKinley Health Center, Urbana

(23) The president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends the award of a contract for $70,587 to JohnsonStirewalt Construction Co., Urbana, to convert 3,400 square feet of space on the second floor of McKinley Health Center to classrooms and offices for its Health Education unit. The work includes minor demolition plus the installation of partitioning and lighting. The space will provide offices, a conference room, and other space in order to consolidate the teaching and counseling areas. It is estimated that the project will begin in February and be completed by May 1985. Funds are available from the Restricted Funds Operating budget of McKinley Health Service for Fiscal Year 1985. A schedule of the bids received has been filed with the secretary of the board for record.
