UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE

999

According t o instructions from the Post-War Planning Commission, t h e various projects proposed are to be arranged for construction in the three bienniums following the close of the war. T h e following construction schedule is proposed by the Committee. It is based chiefly on the comparative urgency of t h e needs, but any relation which each project bears to the other projects must be considered. T h e arrangement within a biennium has no priority significance. Where no amount is included for equipment, the equipment is included in the building cost. Where no amount is included for land, the University now owns the land. Project Building Equipment Land Total A. First Biennium 61S 000 1.

Professor Huntington, who was introduced at this point, presented the building program in detail. The program was fully discussed. On motion of Mr. Jensen, the Committee was instructed to include, as a University project, a building for Physical and Health Education, at an estimated cost of $2,300,000. On motion of Mr. Karraker, the Committee was requested to formulate and draw up the schedule of buildings, in the light of the discussion that had taken place, for approval by the Executive Committee.
