FACULTY CENTER, URBANA (31) The offer of Mrs. William E. Levis, Perrysville, Ohio, to give the University of Illinois Foundation the sum of $1,000,000, contingent upon gifts of others of $600,000, to help provide a Faculty Center at the Urbana campus was reported to the Board of Trustees on September 18, 1968. The Center, to be located east of the Krannert Center for the Performing Arts, will be named the Margaret H . and William E. Levis Faculty Center. It is anticipated that the project will include approximately 20,000 gross square feet and cost approximately $2,000,000, exclusive of extension of utilities, which will cost $300,000. Since a firm commitment with respect to this gift had not been received at the time the capital budget for 1969-71 was prepared, funds for the extension of utilities were not included therein. Thus, it will be necessary to request an appropriation from the State for this cost. A Committee of 100 made up of faculty and staff from every unit on the campus has studied the Faculty Center project and has formulated a tentative program which will become the basis for planning the facility. The Center will contain lounges, conference rooms, large and small dining rooms, kitchen, and office space, and will be designed to be of service to faculty and staff of the University. The President, with the concurrence of appropriate administrative officers, recommends that the Board approve proceeding with the planning for this facility in accordance with the conditions outlined above. Further, as the Board of Higher Education reviews all requests for facilities not already approved by the Board or Legislature which are to be used primarily for purposes other than instruction, it is recommended that the appropriate materials be submitted to the State Board of Higher Education requesting approval of the proposed Faculty Center as a Noninstructional Facility.
