Once constructed, the building became the property of the University, and the maintenance and servicing have been the University's responsibility. (An agreement was entered into by the Board of Trustees and the Department of Registration and Education which, in addition to other conditions protecting the interests of both parties, provided that the plans, specifications, and contracts were subject to approval by the University. A like agreement was entered into for the Water Resources Building on the Urbana campus which was constructed in 1946-48.) An agreement has been prepared with regard to the proposed construction and operation of the Laboratory-Office Complex Building which will be constructed bv the Illinois Building Authority pursuant to plans and specifications approved by the University. The agreement provides that: the University will transfer jurisdiction of the site to the Illinois Building Authority; the Department of Registration and Education will be responsible for the rental under the lease with die Illinois Building Authority; the University will be responsible for the maintenance and operation of the building; and, upon expiration of the lease period, title to the site and building constructed thereon will be vested in the University. The agreement has been approved by the Director of the Department of Registration and Education. The University Office of Physical Plant Planning and Construction has been working with the architects employed by the state to provide the architectural services for this building. Schematic drawings and the model have been reviewed and found to be satisfactory by the Office of Physical Plant Planning and Construction and the working drawings are approximately 80 per cent completed. The President of the University, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the Board of Trustees authorize the Comptroller and Secretary of the Board to execute an agreement, as indicated above, with the Department of Registration and Education.
