ASSIGNMENT OF A PURCHASE AWARD FOR ART SCULPTURE AND STUDIO BUILDINGS, URBANA (22) On November 10, 1967, the Board of Trustees approved the award of a contract to Decatur Construction, Inc., Decatur, the lowest bidder, for the construction of two buildings for sculpture and art studios at the Urbana campus at a cost of $32,974. Due to a change in franchise affiliation, Decatur Construction, Inc., will no longer be a dealer for the proposed building, and has requested that the contract award be assigned to the manufacturer of the building, Armco Metal Products Division, Armco Steel Corporation, South Bend, Indiana.
