The university quickly prepared an application and hand-carried • H I to the Chicago Regional Office on June 29, 1977, meeting the first deadline for submittal Submitting that application on the first day for submission was the primary reason the university'received notification that a loan reservation of $2,065,000 was approved for SSU. SSU, application was the only application in the region to be approved for the construction of new housing All other approved applications were for the remodeling of existing housing for energy conservation purposes. This was a major achievement for the university. Following the fund reservation, it took the university several months to submit Part Two of the application which had a number of special requirements. In September 1977, the Board of Regents authorized the university to submit a resolution to the State General Assembly declaring the construction of a student housing project at SSU to be in the public interest. This was only one of many Part Two application requirements. The university had applied for the construction of 80 student apartments. The architecturalfirmof Graham, O'Shea and Wisnosky of Springfield were selected to design the project. After final plans and cost estimates were prepared, the housing budget allowed for only 70 apartments to be constructed In order to helpfinancethe housing project, a fund drive was undertaken and approximately $225 000 was raisedfromlocal donors. These funds together with the federal loan and approximately STMJOO from the parking fund comprised the total amount needed for construction. l ^ B B I • P H H • M ^ B B l I B m m BBS m ™™*™*.
