Steam demands from existing facilities on the campus are now in excess of the firm capacity of the plant. In the event of severe weather conditions, it will probably be necessary to reduce temperatures in buildings and perhaps to curtail the use of steam in certain areas entirely. The electric demands from existing facilities and buildings now under construction will also exceed the firm capacity of the power plant by about January, 1%1. Although funds were provided in the 1959-61 biennium to offset this difficulty, they have not yet been released and the University is making plans for the purchase of power nntil additional generating equipment can be installed. The additional buildings recommended for construction during 1961-63 will require additional capacity of the power plant and major extensions of the utility distribution system. At the Chicago Professional Colleges, increased electrical capacity must \x provided for the old Dentistry-Medicine-Pharmacy Building. Also included is the replacement of telephone cables which cost will be amortized in approximately three and one-half years. The appropriation requested will provide for: 1. Power Plant Addition a.

However, it is necessary to acqnire the land which will serve as a site prior to the biennium in which the construction is to be started. Additional land is required for buildings, both academic and housing, for parking, and to replace land to be released by the College of Agriculture when it is required by Campus expansion. In addition to the need to provide funds for the purchase of land for sites of buildings to be constructed in 1963-65, some funds should also be available when certain parcels of land are offered for sale. Purchases made at such times result in lower acquisition costs and make possible interim use by the University.
