RECESS

Following a short recess to permit the taking of photographs, the board reconvened as a Committee of the Whole.1

1 The board convened as a meeting of the board as a Committee of the Whole to receive information with regard to ambulatory care at the Health Sciences Center, Chicago. Vice Chancellor Alexander Schmidt presented documents and comment, noting that new facilities for ambulatory care were originally discussed at the time the new University Hospital was planned, but were set aside. (A basic document, "Strategic Planning Progress Report, University of Illinois Health Sciences Center, November 2, 1983," and a short film prepared by the consulting firm, Peat, Marwick and Mitchell, were shown to_ the board.) As the planning effort proceeds, continuing reports on the ambulatory care facility will be presented to the trustees or to committees of the board.
