D . candidates). In addition, this facility would provide for graduate education in three basic biological sciences (physiology, microbiology, and biological chemistry). It is proposed to initiate a new program in medical education consisting of one year of concentrated instruction in the basic sciences at the Urbana-Champaign campus, with the remaining three years to be offered in clinical centers located in one or more of the regions specified in the Report on Education in the Health Fields, which was approved by the Board of Higher Education on June 4, 1968. The general educational plan has also been described in the University's report of December 13, 1967, entitled Proposals for the Expansion of Education in the Health Professions —1967-1980. In addition to providing facilities for the initiation of a new program in undergraduate medicine, graduate facilities in the three basic science departments (physiology, microbiology, and biological chemistry) would be expanded in order to train additional teachers in these fields. There is a critical shortage of faculty in all areas of medical science, and medical education cannot be expanded without increasing the supply of teachers. This facility is programmed to provide the following types and amounts of space: Type of Net Assignable Space Square Feet Office 7 410 Instruction laboratories 15 000 Animal holding 2 500 Research 26 325 Classroom 3 050 Library 1 150 Locker-lounge 2 150 Storage 2 415 Total 60 000
