1968] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 1079 Protection of Life and Property $2 329 160 T h e funds requested herein are for building and utilities projects necessary to meet building codes and safety standards, and for a new campus Fire and Police Station. The items to be considered to meet building standards and safety codes include : automatic sprinkler systems, smoke detection devices, fire stair enclosures, the installation of panic hardware, and an installation to provide overpressure protection for the existing steam-piping system. These projects would not correct all of the potentially hazardous conditions on the campus, but would correct the deficiencies which the Safety and Fire Prevention Committee believe to be the most serious. T h e addition of a second fire station was recommended for the southern part of the campus by the National Board of Fire Underwriters, to provide adequate protection for all buildings on the campus. Further, it was determined that a combined Police and Fire Station would result in lower operating costs, because one group of communications personnel could serve both units, as well as provide better communication during any type of emergency. Site Improvements $2 185 250 Funds requested for this category may be subdivided as follows: ( a ) Campus improvements ($894,000). ( b ) Street and street-lighting improvements ($599,250). ( c ) Public improvements ($692,000). T h e projects classified as campus improvements include reforestation, sidewalk and bicycle facilities, campus security lighting, landscaping, and construction (or reconstruction) of certain recreational facilities. Specific projects involving considerable cost and substantial benefits include completion of the recreational facilities in Illini Meadows (formerly Illini Grove) on which construction started in 1960, and the construction of an all-weather intramural field near Huff Gymnasium. Proposed street and street-lighting improvements include the reconstruction of Peabody Drive in accordance with the future needs of the Intramural-Physical Education Building, as well as minor street and street-lighting improvements throughout the campus. Funds requested for public improvements include the University's contribution to community sanitary and storm sewage projects. These projects have been developed in cooperation with the Urbana-Champaign Sanitary District and the Upper Embarras River Basin Drainage District. Utilities Distribution System $3 906 500 This project includes funds for extensions and other changes in the utilities distribution system necessary to provide essential services to the buildings in this biennial request. T h e other changes in the utilities distribution system include expansion of the library air-conditioning system, storm and sanitary-sewer extensions, and additions to existing distribution centers.
