T h e additional new space in the program will provide facilities for academic study, manager locker room, video tape viewing, and additional space for weight training, training, an office, and a visitor/ recruit lounge. On February 22, 1985, the Athletic Association approved the increase in the project and a $4.2 million budget (increased from $2.2 million) and authorized additional planning funds. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the project be increased to $4.2 million and that the agreement between Severns, Rishling & Associates, Inc., and the Board of Trustees be amended to increase the size of the project to provide for a 27,000 gross square foot addition and renovation of the existing 11,300 gross square feet. T h e architect's fixed fee will be $208,500 for the professional design services through the receipt of bids, plus authorized reimbursements and predesign fees of $28,000. Funds are available initially from the restricted-funds operating budget of the Urbana-Champaign campus physical plant with reimbursement from the proceeds of a new bond issue, upon such action being authorized by the board, or from private gift funds held by the University for the benefit of the Athletic Association.
