Request to Foundation to Employ Architect/Engineer for the Lions of Illinois Eye Research Institute, Medical Center

(21) On November 20, 1980, the Board of Trustees entered into an agreement with the Lions of Illinois Foundation relative to the desirability oi construction of an eye research facility with funds transferred from a special fund-raising campaign undertaken by the Lions of Illinois Foundation. Under the terms of the agreement, architectural services are to be procured by the University or its designee as soon as feasible from funds to be transferred from the Lions Foundation. It is desirable that the University of Illinois Foundation be the designee of the University for this purpose. The Lions Foundation believes that its campaign efforts will be enhanced if the architectural services are obtained at this time and has strongly urged that the contract provision relating to them be implemented from the funds it has raised to date. Accordingly, the president of the University, with the concurrence of the appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the University of Illinois Foundation be requested, subject to the receipt by it of adequate funds from the Lions of Illinois Foundation under the November 20, 1980, agreement, to employ the firm of Schmidt, Garden & Erikson, Architects and Engineers, Chicago, for complete architectural and engineering services for this project through the completion of construction contract documents at a fee based on 4.8 percent of the actual construction cost (presently estimated to be $4.9 million plus reimbursable expenses estimated to be $15,000 authorized by the University).

On motion of Dr. Donoghue, this recommendation was approved by the following vote: Aye, Mrs. Day, Dr. Donoghue, Mr. Forsyth, Mr. Madden, Mr. Neal, Mrs. Shepherd, Mr. Stone; no, none; absent, Mr. Howard, Governor Thompson. (Mr. Hahn asked to be recorded as not voting.) (The student advisory vote was: Aye, Mr. Maltese, Mr. Peterson; no, none; absent, Mr. Silverman.)
