BOARD OF TRUSTEES

[April 18

The Medical Research Laboratory provides support services to the healthrelated research effort at the Medical Center campus. The support services rendered, while essential and important, are specific and limited; and the words "medical research" are too broadly descriptive. Because the unit provides only those research support services related to the use of laboratory animals, it is believed the words "biologic resources" more accurately describe the functions performed. The Executive Committee of the Graduate College has been consulted and joins in the recommendation. The Chancellor and the Vice President for Academic Development and Coordination concur. The Committee recommends approval. On motion of Mr. Howard, this recommendation was approved.

RENAMING O F BOARD O F EDUCATION W A R E H O U S E ; NAMING BUILDING AT 1 9 1 1 WEST ROOSEVELT ROAD. MEDICAL CENTER

Report of the Buildings and Grounds Committee Meeting (36) The Chancellor at the Medical Center campus and the President recommended to the Committee approval of names for two buildings at the Medical Center campus, one of which has been acquired and one of which will be acquired by the University from the Medical Center Commission. The building at 821 South Damen Avenue is a warehouse building formerly owned and used by the Board of Education of the City of Chicago. It was transferred to the University on January 12, 1965, and has previously been known as the "Board of Education Warehouse." It is now recommended that it be designated the "Damen Avenue Building." It will continue in use as a storage and warehouse facility for the Medical Center campus. The building at 1911 West Roosevelt Road is a commercial building formerly owned and used by the National Casket Company. It was acquired by the Medical Center Commission on June 30, 1972, and its transfer to the University is anticipated shortly. It will be used by the Physical Plant Department for the purpose of housing maintenance personnel, storage of equipment, and possibly future offices, and by the Office of Business Affairs for the purpose of general warehousing, and by the University of Illinois Hospital as a location for the Valley Outpost Clinic which is a neighborhood health center serving the nearby area. Recently, the Governor released funds from the FY73 capital budget in the amount of $100,000 for the remodeling of this building. It is recommended that this building be designated the "General Services Building." The Vice President for Planning and Allocation concurs. The Committee recommends approval. On motion of Mr. Howard, this recommendation was approved. SECRETARY'S REPORT The Secretary presented for record appointments to the faculty and changes of status made by the President; resignations; leaves of absence; and retirements. A copy of the report is filed with the Secretary.
