EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:



In its location between two massive Georgian buildings this modern structure was designed as a "foil" between the large buildings and as a transition to the more contemporary buildings to the west and proposed contemporary buildings to the east. This building is modern not just in appearance but in function as well. It is fully air-conditioned and is equipped with tinted glass and soft fluorescent lighting. It has closed-circuit television and facilities for video tape recording, and in addition provides such details as rental typing booths for students. The building was financed through the Illinois bond issue of 1960 and constructed (along with fixed equipment) at a cost of $8,311,177.
