The basic rental is $3,478.00 per year. Remodeling done at the request of the University will total $32,518.00, which sum is to be prorated across the entire term of the lease and the three (3) annual extensions as an additional annual rental.1 Based upon November 1, 1972, occupancy, the total annual rent will be $12,347.16.
