(20) The President, with the concurrence of the Chancellor at the Medical Center and the Vice President and Comptroller, recommends authorization of the execution of a lease of space for the Center for Craniofacial Anomalies from Arthur Rubloff & Co., agents, for the period May 1, 1969, through December 31, 1970, at a monthly rate of $1,394.65, and for the period January 1, 1971, through December 31, 1972, at a monthly rate of $1,529.80, payable solely out of federal funds and funds from private donors with no state appropriated funds involved. This lease will have a clause permitting the University to terminate upon sixty days' notice at the end of any calendar year. The University has received a research grant of $218,727 from the United States Public Health Service to establish a Data Bank which will house the research and clinical records of the Center and provide space essential to the development of a computerized facility for data retrieval and analysis. Space is not available in University facilities for this program, and the Public Health Service in approving this grant has provided funds to lease off-campus space. Suitable space, consisting of 4,907 square feet, is available in a building at 416 South Franklin Street, Chicago. The lessor has agreed to pay for the necessary remodeling and decorating, heating, and janitorial service for a rental of $3.41 per square foot per year for the period through December 31, 1970, and $3.72 per square foot per year for the period January 1, 1971, through December 31, 1972. This rate is reasonable considering the location and quality of the facility proposed to be rented. On motion of Mr. Clement, this recommendation was approved.
