This Summary is prepared to explain the general principles which have governed the selection of projects for inclusion in the program and to give a broad classification of these projects. Because of the shortage of funds during the depression and the restric- tions on the use of materials and labor during the war, there has been a marked deficiency in new building space, new equipment and utility expansion and improvement. Also, important accumulations of '.of erred maintenance have 'occurrc 9 .. Since these adverse conditions started in 1930, and since the post-war building program is tentatively scheduled to end in 1950, the funds which are requested are for a building and maintenance program which would have extended over a 20-year period if the depression and the war had not intervened. The program proposed for the Urbana Campus is designed to maintain, during this 20-year period, the same average annual increase of 71+.000 square feet of floor area that prevailed during the preceding 30-year period from 1900 to I93O and to offset the deferr &'. maintenance since I93O on the "basis of an average life of fifty years for the various parts of buildings. Studies of probable post-war enrollments indicate that the average annual increase of 330 which prevailed from 1900 to I93O will continue and that the normal enrollment in I95O will be about 16,800, This is 25 per cent larger than the peak prewar^ enrollment of 13,380 in 1938=39 . The proposed program also maintains the same average gross floor area of 225 square feet per student which has prevailed since 1900 and was exceeded by a wide margin from the founding of the University to that date. Returning veterans will account for a considerable portion of the in- creased enrollment. Every effort should "be nade to provide adequate facilities for these men. \*sx*s vii Another important phase of the proposed program for the Urbana Campus is the provision for funds to finance the construction of new Residence Halls for students. Studies which have been made indicate that the housing shortage which existed before the war will be more acute after the war and that private con- struction cannot be depended upon to provide significant relief, The proposals made in this report would only partially relieve this condition. If new housing is not provided, the enrollment may be limited by the housing facilities. The program proposed for the Chicago Campus is designed primarily to improve the hospital facilities which, even with the relatively large expenditure proposed, are inadequate when judged by accepted standards. This program also provides relief for the overcrowded library and space for educational displays as well as a new power plant and improved distribution facilities. The funds required to carry out the proposed program total $32,300,000. It is realized that this total is large. However, it is not large because of ab- normal expansion in the University's program but is large because it provides for deficits in building space, equipment and maintenance which have accumulated since 1930 and will continue until the program is completed in 1950, This is a 20-year period. Failure to provide funds for practically the entire program would result in lowering the physical standards which have prevailed on the Urbana Campus since 1900 and will make impossible needed improvements on the Chicago Campus to meet minimum acceptable standards, The #32,300,000 total is distributed as follows: URBANA CAMPUS For predicted enrollment in present programs: Buildings , ........ $ 9, 5^2,000 Equipment ....... 1,526,000 Modernizing and remodeling to offset deferred maintenances, • 2,868,200 New Student Residence Halls and Faculty Graduate- Student Center. 3,530,000 For New Programs: Buildings 3,885,000 Equipment. . . . , 1 ,825,000 Expansion and Improvement of Utilities 1,367,800 Campus Improvements lUl 000 Total for Urbana Campus $ 2H,685,O0O "■"••■■'■■ ;; - mm .1" v.: viii CHICAGO CAMPUS New Buildings and Equipment for Present Programs $ U, 873,000.

Total for Chicago Campus $ 7,bl5,000 Total for Urbana and Chicago Campuses.... $32,300,000 Further discussion of the various factors involved in this program is given in the following paragraphs of this Summary. A detailed analysis of the program is given in the body of the report. The Illinois Post»War Planning Commission has divided projects into three priorities on the basis of need. There are (l) Preferred, (2) Desirable, and (3) Deferrable. The Building Program Committee has followed this classifi» cation. As would be expected, most of the projects considered are in the "Preferred" class, many are in the "Desirable" class and a few in the "Deferrable" class. Since the total cost of the "Preferred" class is so large, the descrip=» tions of only these projects are included in this report. However, summary lists of the Desirable projects are included. The Deferrable projects are omitted entirely. Prospectuses- for only the Preferred Projects are submitted to the Post^War Planning Commission. The tentative date set by the Post»»War Planning Commission for the completion of the program is 1950. Projects are to be scheduled for construction during the first, second, or third biennium, between now and that date. The uncertainties involved in setting such dates are, doubtless, realized by all. Classification of Preferred Projects ,— »The preferred projects which are proposed may be divided into the following classes, according to the basic objectives which the Committee has sought to accomplish: 1. New Buildings and Equipment for Present Programs ; These projects provide for the prewar teaching programs which are expected to continue after the war. The major objective is to offset the deficiencies in floor space which have accumulated since 1930 an d provide for the expected increases in I ix enrollment up to the year 1950 > on the Urbana Campus, and for improving the hospital, library and museum facilities on the Chicago Campus. 2. Modernizing and Remodeling : These projects improve the quality and useful** ness of present space by modernizing to offset the deferred maintenance which has taken place since 1930 aa ^- remodeling to adapt space to changes in use. 3. New Residence Halls and Faculty Gr rduate=>S tudent Center : These projects partially provide for deficiencies in student housing which prevailed before the war and which will become extremely acute after the war in spite of any reasonable steps which may be taken to provide partial relief. They also provide recreational and social facilities for the faculty and graduate** students. It is expected that prewar rooming houses will be fully utilized. U. Rew Buildings and Equipment for New Programs : These projects provide build** ings and equipment for the Veterinary College, the Health and Physical Education Building and equipment for the program in Aeronautical Engineerings all of which have been inaugurated recently by the Board of Trustees, They also provide for a greatly expanded program of research based on the Betatron, and the expanded Atmospheric Research Program. 5. Utilities and Distribution Systems: These projects provide for the improve** ment of the present utilities and distribution systems to offset deferred maintenance and for their expansion to provide for the increased load created by new buildings and the improvement of services in present buildings. 6. Campus Improvements : These projects provide for new drives and walks made necessary by the construction of proposed buildings, for the improvement of present campus facilities of other types, and for landscaping. 7. Land Acquisition : This project provides for the acquisition of land for future campus development. Any land which must be aoquired to provide for a building. proposed in this program is included in the project for that building. Vj; 1. g. Operating Costs * Under this heading are included the total costs for operas tion and maintenance of non=»revenue»producing buildings proposed in this pro= gram. The operating costs for revenue»producing buildings, such as residence halls, r.rc charged against their income. The size of teaching staff is de=> termined by the enrollment and is independent of the amount of floor space. For that reason the staff costs are not charged to new buildings. However, the staff required to operate the new hospital units in Chicago results from the construction of new space, so is included. The cost of operating new re=. search programs is not always included in the operating cost because it is determined by other factors than the amount of new space, and cannot be estimated from the information which is available. THE URBANA CAMPUS 1. New Buildings and Equipment for Present Programs . «~»The predicted enrollment for 1950 is 16,800, the floor area required for present teaching and research programs is 225 square feet per student and the average estimated cost of buildings is $10.00 per square foot. On this basis the number of square feet of floor area required to accommodate 16,800 students is determined as follows: Total floor area in 195O«-»l6,800 x 225 s 3,780,000 sq^ ft. The new floor area required is: Total Floor Area 3,780,000 sq. ft. Present Floor Area 2,790,000 sq. ft. Hew Floor Area Required.. 990,000 sq. ft.

Land Acquisition .^- The acquisition of land for buildings proposed in this program is provided for in the projects for those buildings. In order that land may be available for future buildings, funds should be provided now so that individual parcels can be purchased as they become available at reason^ able prices. In this way, the payment of excessive prices can be avoided. The amount proposed for land acquisition is: Proposed for Land Acquisition =* «* = « $ 390,600 8. Operating Costs . «=> The estimated increase in annual operating costs for the General Hospital Addition is $68U,000, including $1+35,000 for the care of patients and $2^9,000 for the cost of building operation and maintenance. The estimated increase in annual operating costs due to the Atmosphere ic Research project is $57,000 for research costs and $1+6,000 for building operation and maintenance, or a total of $103,000. The operation costs of the Power Plant are included in the operating costs of the buildings it serves. The estimated annual increase in the operating budget to provide for the enlarged program and new services in the Visual Education Building are $18,000 for the library, $15,000 for the illustration studios, $20,000 for new services not now rendered and $90,000 for building operation and maintenance.

INTRODUCTION 1» Hi story . .--The University was incorporated "by an Act of. the General Assembly in 1867 as Illinois Industrial University located in Urbana. This action was taken following an Act of Congress, known as the "Morrill Land Grant" whereby the national government gave each state in the Union public land scrip equal to 30,000 acres for each senator and each representative in Congress. These grants were made "for the endowment, support, and maintenance of at least one college whose leading object shall be, without excluding other scientific and classical studies and including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts • •«.-•.*..• in order to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions of life, " In addition to the original endowment, Congress has made provision for Land Grant institutions by supplementary acts carrying annual appropriations, . which in most cases are for specific purposes. As noted in paragraph 3t * ne principal support of the University is provided by the State, partly through a special tax of one- third mill, and partly by appropriations from the general reserve. The University opened on March 2, 1868 with fifty men students and a faculty consisting of one Regent and two professors. Instruction was first given in algebra, geometry, physics, rhetoric and Latin. Later in the same year, a chemistry laboratory was provided and in the following year laboratory work in botany was started. In 1870, a mechanical . shop was equipped to give the first shop instruction offered in any university. Almost since its beginning, the University has been co-educational as the result of action taken in 1870, to admit women students, Since that time, from one^sixth to one-third of the students have been women.

This authority was given by the General Assembly in 1877. In 1885, tbis body changed the name of the institution to the University of Illinois, From this simple beginning, the program in Urbana has expanded to cover a wide range of fields. The programs now operating on the Urbana campus are considered in Part II, Section.A, paragraph U, and on the Chicago campus, in the same paragraphs of Part III e The Colleges of Dentistry, Medicine, and Pharmacy , which are located in Chicago, were originally independent, proprietary institutions before be- coming affiliated with the University of Illinois, The College of Pharmacy is by far the oldest, having been organized as the Chicago College of Pharmacy on September 5« 1859 t eight years before the University itself was incorporated. It was the third institution of its kind in the United States, Activities were suspended during the Civil War, and the College was not reopened until 1870,- When its property was destroyed by the "Chicago fire tt of 1871 f the pharmacists of the world came to the rescue promptly, those of Great Britain in particular r and enabled the College to reopen again in 1872, with new equipment,- including a library, much better than ever before. In I896 it became the School of Pharmacy of the University of Illinois^ and in 1932 its name was changed to the College of Pharmacy when the curriculum leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy was announced* In I939-I9U0 the College of Pharmacy was moved from its former quarters, 715 South Wood Street, to the Medical and Dental College Laboratories Building, The College of Medicine opened October lk, 1881, as the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Chicago.- It became affiliated with the University of Illinois under a lease in 1897, and in 1900 its name was changed to the College ■" i "■■'■■ ■ '■■■ :: ,, .. ■ : " ■ • ; ■ ■».... ■ - ": • ' ; : - '".

Not until 1913i however, did it become an integral part of the University. During most of its early history it was located north of Cook County Hospital on the area now foming the Convalescent Park, In 1931 it was moved to its present quarters in the west unit of the Medical and Dental College Laboratories Building. In 19^1 Rash Medical School "became affiliated and members of its staff were added to the clinical faculty of the College of Medicine. |The College of Dentistry was established in 1S92, as the Columbian Dental College, a proprietary institution. After partial reorganization in 1898, it became known as the Illinois School of Dentistry, Its first affiliation with the University took place in 1901| when it became the School of Dentistry of the University of Illinois. In 1905t its name was changed to the College of Dentistry and in 1913 "the University assumed complete control, of its kind in this country. The Bureau of Educational Research, founded in 1918; the Bureau of Economic and Business Research, founded in 1921; the Bureau of Institutional Research, founded in 1933» and the Bureau of Community Planning, founded in 193^» are similar organizations operated on a smaller scale. The first building used by the University was completed in 1862 to provide quarters for a co-educational boarding school which was to have been known as the Champaign and Urbana Institute. Shortly after completion, it was donated to the State for University, purposes as a part of Champaign County's contribution to the new institution. It was a five-story brick structure located on the southeast corner of University Avenue at Wright Street, or in the northwest corner of the area now known as Illinois Field. The floor area was approximately 37tOCO square. feet and the cost is reported as $175,000 but was probably considerably lower. It served as a dormitory r.s Troll as a classroom *nd laboratory building In 1380, a fire and windstorm caused such extensive .'.'■.':•:•:■;.; -'■• : -" ■'•"•■'£■ ; •■ ■• i • , . , ■ . ■•.'VS Part I, page 4 damage that the "building, "being no longer usable, was razed in 1881. The Mechanical Building and Drill Hall was erected in 1871 at a cost of $25,000 on the southeast corner of Springfield and Burrill Avenues. It pro- vided a floor area of 22,000 sq, ft. The first floor was used for shops and the second as a drill hall. The "building was destroyed "by fire in 1900. University Hall was completed in 1873 at a cost of $1^8,000, exclusive of heating equipment and furniture. It provided a floor area of 97*300 square feet. Upon the completion of this "building, all classes were moved from the original "building except Chemistry so, with this exception, the entire academic program was housed in University Hall and the Mechanical Building and Drill Hall. University Hall was razed in 1938, after 65 years of service, because of struc- tural weaknesses. The cost, up to the time of demolition, was $163,000, The Old Chemistry Building, now known as Harker Hall, was completed in I878 at a cost of $^0,000 and provided a floor area of 23,660. It is the oldest building now on the campus. In 1896, it was struck by lightening. The result- ing fire destroyed the roof and practically all of the interior. These were immediately restored. Chemistry was moved to the west section of Noyes Labora- tories in 1902, when that "building was completed. The vacated quarters were assigned to the College of Law which remained in the "building until 1928 when that College moved to its present quarters, which had previously been the Library Building, The vacated building was assigned to the Department of Entomology. Statistical information concerning former buildings on the Urbana cam- pas is summarized in the following, table: Name of Building Original Building, called University Building, Old University Building, and Old Dormitory Mechanical Building & Drill Hall I87I to 1900 University Hall I873 to 1938 Period of Service Floor Area Cost in Dollars sq, ft, 37,000 1862 to 1880 22,000 97,300 $ 175,000 1^8,000 163,000 * Part I, page 5 6 The total gross floor area provided by these buildings was 37,000 square feet from I867 to 1870; 59,000 square feet from 1871 to 1872; 156,300 square feet from 1873 to 1880; 119,300 square feet from 1881 to 1900; and 97,300 square feet from 1901 to 1938. The gross floor areas from I867 to I9U3, exclud- ing that of the original building and the Mechanical Building and Drill Hall, but including University Hall, are given in the table on page 23. There is much uncertainty concerning the character of use which was made of the floor space in the first two buildings so, for the purpose of the studies in this. report, the floor space contributed by the first two buildings is not included. At the present time there are 76 major buildings on the Urbana campus, built at a total cost of over 22 million dollars, as shown in the table following page lU. The buildings formerly occupied by the Chicago Colleges, or their predecessors, and information concerning them are given in the following table. At present, there are six major buildings on the Chicago campus,, built at a total cost of $7,3^5.000.

The net investment in the physical plant of the University at cost on June 30, 19^3 was $^3i971»932. Funds for this investment came from the follow., ing sources? From the State of Illinois........ $ 36,562,591 From the Federal government ,, 1,713,657 From private gifts. ., 3,46l,SS4 From borrowings 2, 233,800 Loans used for the erection of new buildings are liquidated out of the income of those buildings and n't from state appropriations. The operating expenses ox the University for the year 1939- 1 40 totaled $8,503,6^1, Of this amount the sum of $5t^32,500 represents appropriations from hM.* '••'■•• • '• rr .•••,. . :'.:* . •■ 'if"! * "■■'■- ' f \ ■ \ ' • ■' ..• .•■ ■••. ;; .: , ■ '■■'■'■ •* ■■■:.' ■ * • ■ X--'»v, :V, , 1 Part I , page 8 8 state revenue.

The "balance, $l, 1 4-30,^65, is fron restricted federal grants, private gifts and endowments, or the gross operations of the residence halls and other self-supporting activities. With the exception of such activities providing their own income, funds for operation and maintenance of University "buildings are supplied only from state appropriations, • * **• A pprai sal of Heeds .— Recommendations concerning the University 1 s need for funds for new buildings; modernizing or remodeling present buildings; expansion and improvement of utilities; and extension or improvement of distri- bution systems for electricity, steam and water are made by the Building Program Committee to the Council, the President and finally, with their approval, to the Board of Trustees, The members of this Committee are selected to cover a wide range of interests and experience so that all phases of the University 1 s program will re- ceive attention,. The present members are: R, B. Allen r Executive Dean of the Chicago Colleges R f D t Carmichael, Bean of the Graduate School C ? R, Griffith, Director of the Bureau of Institutional Research A, J. Harno, Dean of the College of Law and Provost C, S, Havens, Director of the Physical Plant H, T f Scovill, Acting Dean of the College of Commerce and Business Administration W, C, Huntington, Head of the Department of Civil Engineering, Chairman of the Committee In starting its study of the needs which should be included in the proposed post-T7ar Building Program, the Committee requested all Deans, Directors and others, who might be concerned, to provide statements concerning the needs of the various departments or other administrative units. To secure uniformity a suggested outline was provided. Building committees were appointed by the K Part I, page 9 9 various. colleges, schools, and departments which did not already have such com- mittees. After making extensive studies, these committees provided the Building Program Committee with statements of their needs. These were compiled into a document entitled "Inventory of Building and Related Needs as Requested by Col- leges, Schools and Departments of the University of Illinois, Urbana and Chicago, Illinois" dated April 1, 19U4, Copies of this report have been furnished to the Executive staff of the Illinois State Planning Commission and are available to others concerned. More detailed information concerning the various needs than is given in this Report is included in the Inventory, The Inventory formed the basis of the studies made by the Committee in its many meetings but this was supplemented by joint meetings with the various college and department committees and by conferences between the chairman and those concerned. The recommendations made by the Committee in this report have resulted from these procedures which have extended over a period of eight months,, Since all but one of the members of the Committee have served in this capacity for several years, the Committee was quite familiar with the needs before start- ing the present study. 5. General Character of Programs — The programs proposed for the Urbana and Chicago campuses may be divided into the following classes of projects: (1) New Buildings and Equipment for Present Programs, (2) Modernizing and Remodeling, (3) New Residence Halls and Faculty Graduate- Student Center, (*+) New Buildings and Equipment for New Programs, (5) Improvement and Expansion of Utilities, (6) Campus Improvements, (7) Land Acquisition, ... Part I, page 10 6. Operating Costs . -—The Committee has given careful consideration to increases. in operating costs which would result from the construction of new "buildings. Because of such increases, it has "been considered unwise to expand the "building space beyond that which is necessary to maintain proper educational standards. In general, these increases in operating costs do not include in- creases in teaching and research staffs "because such increases are determined by the teaching and research load which is not controlled "by the "building space. The expected increase in enrollment will require increased staff regardless of any new buildings which may be constructed.. The special conditions in the Chicago Colleges are considered in Part III. Remodeling and modernization, cause no significant increases in operat- ing costs and may result in reductions. Improvement in the standards of light- ing, which is so "badly needed, would cause a slight increase in operating costs and an extensive program of air conditioning would cause an important increase. However, the latter is not contemplated. Improvement in the heating systems of the buildings and in the distribution systems would increase their efficiencies and would reduce the operating costs. Modernization would tend to reduce the cost of janitor service. Therefore, new buildings are the only items in the University* s program which would make significant increases in the operating costs. 7* Priorities and Construction Schedules. — The priority classifica- tion of the Post-War Flanning Commission is (l) Preferred, (2) Desirable, and (3) Deferrable. The Committee has followed this classification in considering the projects which have been submitted. All projects which arc urgently necessary t&- provide proper educational, health and safety standards with the expected -: A. > i : S .... <■" ..!' :■; L. . ; ».>•; ■..# •■ • ■ - ' . . / r. • "■•' ' I '' ■■■ '- »'. ) , /,...... Part I, page H 11 increase in enrollment are classed as "Preferred"* The standards for the amount of new floor spdce required to maintain educational standards with the expected enrollment on the Urbana campus are "based on the University* s experience through the years and on data obtained from other institutions. The amount of new hos- pital space required to provide an adequate number of hospital patients for the training of each advanced medical student is determined from studies made by the American Medical Association. The health standards which should he provided in old, as well as new space are determined by the State Department of Public Health and the safety standards as affected by fire hazards are determined by the National Board of Fire Underwriters. All of the. projects which are designed to satisfy these standards are classed as preferred. Projects which are roccnnonde* to provide more housing quarters to partially accommodate the expected increase in enrollment are classed as preferred. Projects designed to partially offset the deferred maintenance and depreciation resulting from deficiency of funds during the depression years and inability to secure materials and labor during the war years are also placed in this class. All such projects represent real needs which would normally have been provided for if the depression and the war had not int orvcnorl. Also, certain new programs have been authorized to meet urgent needs. Projects which provide building space for these programs are classed as "Preferred", The program which makes proper provision for these preferred projects which have grown out of the normal operations of the University is of such a magnitude that little emphasis has been placed on the "Desirable" projects and practically none on "Deferrable" projects, although there are many projects which could be placed in these classes. Projects which would provide new space in excess of the requirements of the predicted 1 95 enrollment have not been in- cluded. Some of the older buildings are of inferior construction, are in poor 5&S8KB u Part I, page J 2 12 condition and are obsolete in every respect. The expenditures required to put them in good operating condition are not justified by the quality of the space which would result.. The investment in such buildings is small, The "best pro- cedure would "be to demolish these buildings and provide new floor space to off- set the resulting loss of floor space. Such projects are "Desirable" or "Deferrable". There are several projects which might well have been classed as "Preferred" hut, because of the large numher of projects in the preferred group, they were classed as desirable,. Many projects are interrelated, and the Power Plant and distribution systems are related to all projects which include new building space or improved facilities in present space. If the entire "Preferred" programis not approved, many adjustments will be necessary to obtain a workable program. Also, within the "Preferred" group of projects there are differences in urgency which should be taken into account in formulating a revised program. As requested by the Commission, projects are arranged for construction in the three bienniums following the close of the war. Two factors control the formulation of such a construction schedule. In general, the most urgent projects should be carried out first but, in many cases, a highly urgent project cannot be constructed until another project is completed. If the entire program is not approved as submitted, adjustments will have to be made in the Construc- tion Schedule to suit the changed conditions. Also, as requested by the Commission, projects are classified accord- ing to whether they grow out of obsolescence, expansion of present program, or new programs. 3J St ..:• ■ •".-• f ..!■ ■ > ■t: • ,. «■ •■• o ' '■ ' ' m PART II THE URBANA CAMPUS SECTION A GENERAL DISCUSSION ^S Ws& i* * .

GENERAL DISCUSSION 1« Introduction . — The Urbana campus is located in Urbana and Cham- paign, in Champaign County, about 126 miles, south and somewhat west, from Chicago "by rail and 90 miles, east and somewhat north, from Springfield, The combined population of Urbana and Champaign is about Uo,000, exclusive of Uni- versity students. These towns are surrounded by rich farm land. There is relatively little industrial activity in the region. The University registration in Urbana reached the peak of 13,380, exclusive of the summer sossion, in 1938-39i just before the outbroak of tho war. About three-fourths of the students are men. This is the third largest college resident enrollment in the country. The two highest enrollments are in institutions located in large centers of population where a large proportion of the students live at home. The University of Illinois is almost unique in being a very large institution located in a small center of population. This creates an acute housing problem which is discussed elsewhere in this report. The instructional, research, administrative, and clerical staffs in Urbana totaled about 2,200 in 19^0, and the service and operating staff about 500, This group of 2 9 700, with their families, constitute a considerable proportion of the residents of Urbana rjid Champaign, Since the total population of these two towns includes such a large proportion of persons associated with the Uni- versity, and since so many others are engaged in occupations which are influenced markedly by the University, its students and its staff, that institution is the predominating influence in the, life of these communities. Briefly, Urbana and Champaign are University towns. KrStKvS 3 Part II, page 14 2. Present ±lr».nt..~The area of the Urbana campus is U00 acres and the adjoining University-owned and operated Agricultural Experiment fields and timber reservations in Champaign County is 1,^38 acres. In addition, the Uni- versity of Illinois Airport, located five miles south. of the center of the campus and now under construction, occupies 7^2 acres. The investment in land occupied by the Urbana campus is $700*000? "by the agricultural experiment fields and timber reservations in Champaign County, $530,000; and by the Airport, $250,000, .The total investment in land in Champaign County is, therefore, $1,530,000. The names, dates of completion, floor area, and costs to date of the buildings on the Urbana campus in 19^ are given in the table on the next page. The number of buildings which are of enough importance to be named in this list is 76. One or more major additions have been made to several of these buildings as indicated by two or more dates of completion being given in the table. The number of buildings and major additions is 108, The floor areas of some of the less important buildings are not given in the table. The total floor area of the buildings is about 3»500,000 square feet or about 80 acres. The floor area used directly or indirectly for teaching and research is 2,790,000 square feet. The difference in these two totals is made up of the floor area of such buildings as the Residence Halls, the Union Building, Skating Rink, President's House, Illini Hall, and Natural Resources Building, which are important in the total program of the University but which are not used for teaching and research. The reason for making this distinction will be explained later. The total cost to date of all of the buildings on the campus is about $22,000,000, m 3» Develorment of C anrpus Plan. — A university campus is not an end in itself; it is only a means to an end.

The campus is valuable only in so far as it serves as a place wherein staunch and lasting values are "built into the lives of the young men and women who attend the institution. Beginning in 1867 as a small college of agriculture and mechanic arts, the University in seventy-five years has developed into one of .America's great educational institutions. At Illinois, the University campus plan has always reflected the in- stitution's educational program and growth in a most telling fashion. In the University catalog for 1871 was printed a plat of the early campus which, with its parade ground, "botanical garden, forestry, "buildings and experimental farms, expressed admirably and with commendable order the educational objectives of Illinois Industrial University as the school was then called. Down through the years University authorities have guided carefully the physical development of the school. The acquirement and improvement of lands, the construction of buildings to house the expanding educational programs, and the grouping of related interests, have, in general, exhibited orderly progress. In the lean years when appropriations were snail, housing became con- gested and campus development was necessarily slow. In more opulent times facilities multiplied rapidly and campus development caught up with the educa- tional program. During the early years of the University, growth was steady but slow. As a result neither the eventual size nor the need of lateral development of the middle campus was envisioned at a time when the city blocks either side the middle campus were available. When it became apparent that the growth of the institution would require addition of lands to the east and west, those lands . Part II, page 4 16 had already "been built upon. Therefore, this portion of the campus, only two "blocks wide, was developed in a southward direction to a point just "beyond the Auditorium, built in 1908, where it could expand to the east and to the west. The present campus, that is the part containing the principal instruc- tional buildings, forms an inverted T with the major axis running north and south and a minor axis running east and west. On the north campus beyond Green Street are the buildings of the College of Engineering; in the middle campus the Administration Building, the Union and structures of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Near the crossing of the axes is the University Library, On the south campus are the Colleges of Agriculture, Commerce, and Fine and Applied Arta, together with the Military interests and the Athletic Departments for men and women. Other colleges and schools like Law, Journalism and Education are appropriately located near the College of Liberal Arts, Dormitories, gymnasiums, the Roman's Building, and service structures are likewise centrally placed. It is the conviction of the University administration that the campus has now attained a no rth-and- south development beyond which it should not go # if students are expected to travel between buildings on foot. This means that the middle campus should be widened. It would be ideal if the University could, in time, acquire the blocks immediately east and west of the middle campus. Some parcels of land within these blocks are already in University hands and , recommendations respecting the acquirement of other needed parcels are embodied in this report. Certainly the gradual deterioration of the properties immedi- ately adjacent to the University on the east indicates that it should be possible to secure all parcels needed to develop the middle carapis in a harmonious and balanced fashion. Beginning about 1895 president Draper and the Board of Trustees began a serious study of campus needs. Much of the basic work done at that time is &aB& ."' :'•. . . ... >r Part II, page 5 17 reflected in present-day campus arrangements. Since 190^» campus developments have been consistently studied and carefully directed by architectural and plan- ning specialists employed for that purpose. Long-range master plans have been made from time to time by such authorities as C f H, Blackall and Frederick Law Olmsted of Boston, W, C. Zimmerman and Daniel H, Burnham of Chicago, and Charles A, Flatt and Ferruccio Vitale of New York. These plans, together with constant necessary local revisions by the late Professor James M, White, Supervising Architect of the University, have kept campus arrangements abreast of the develop- ing educational program of the University, Thus the principal outlines of a campus to accommodate the maximum envisioned University enrollment for many years in the future have long been in existence* Various. stages in the development of the campus plan are shown on the following page,* A considerable number of the buildings needed to realize the "ultimate' 1 plan have already been erected, as is shown on the I9U3 campus plat, which accompanies this report. On this plan are also shown the locations of the "Preferred" and "Desirable" buildings recommended in the PosWWar build- ing program. This plan is bound on the inside of the back cover. ffoile it might appear that the structures thus included in the Univer- sity's Fost-War Building Program are scattered and have little relation to one anothor, the fallacy of such a conclusion becomes apparent when locations of the recommended projects are studied in relation to the I9U3 plat of existing struc- tures, In fact, it will be observed that the suggestions for new buildings em- bodied in this report harmonize with and amplify existing campus facilities in a fashion best calculated to keep the physical plant of the University abreast of the constrictive emergent educational program of the institution. The location of these proposed structures as shown on the r.ccom-mying ma-, is in line with long-range and well matured studies a s to correct place- ment of the structures in question.

Educational Ob.iectives ,-~Por seventy-six years the University of Illinois has been writing a magnificent story of expanding educational services to the people of the State, Even though its charter laid emphasis on agricul- tural and the mechanic arts, and even though work in these fields has grown rapidly with the years, the programs of the University are now so broad in scope that all the people in all their najor activities have a personal share in them. The main goal of the institution, as of all the other land-grant colleges, is to provide the best possible conditions for. the growth of the liberal arts, the sciences, and the major technical fields. It is only through broad programs of teaching! rese a rch and. public service that the nation can realize its goal of a worthy American culture. 5 . . • • v ::■. .- . • . • •■■: . . ■ ■<■ . ■ . ,,. ;■'...

Teaching, research and public service are the three main elements in the life of the institution. No one of these elements can he preferred to the others.. They have jointly contributed to national distinction, and the future of the University of Illinois will vary as the proper balance between them is maintained. The responsibility of the University in the education of a large community of undergraduate and graduate students has grown as the number of resi- dence students has grown. In the size of its staff, and of its student body, the University is really a considerable city in its own right. There can be no question but that this responsibility will increase in the post-war period. It will grow because more youth than ever before will seek a general education and strive to master the technical skills of their chosen profession.. But also, it will grow because of progress in research and in scholarly investigations. A people who no longer desire to learn about the ways of nature, master disease, create new sources of comfort, and perfect the great principles which ought to guide the life of the individual and of society, are a dying people. Research creates wealth, and it shows how wealth can be wisely used. This wealth is both material and spiritual, and it is daily shared in a personal way by every man, woman and child in the commonwealth^ The wealth created by the University is shared most directly with its residence students. Through instruction on the campus, thousands of youth be- come both leaders in medicine, engineering, agriculture,, law, commerce, industry, or teaching, and they become members in the solid ranks of our citizens. But the University does not ask all of its students to come to its own campus. It takes its teaching and its research to the homes, the farms, the stores and offices of the citizens of the State. This is done by the activities of such divisions of the University as its Extension Division, its Radio Station, and the public service activities of the Colleges of Agriculture, Commerce, Education, Engineer- . ... ..: ■•• • "... - . ■• . . • •'•'■-, - i ' " ■ ■ ■ :■> ■/■ ■' ■ ■ '■ ■ ■ ' . «'•'■'■ •'■• 8 , .

In actual fact, the student "body consists potentially of the entire adult population of the State, In working toward the three-fold aim of teaching, research and public service, the University of Illinois can feel justified in a sense of pride. Many of its facilities for research in science and technology cannot he sur- passed. It has a distinguished record of contributions to theory and practice in all walks of life. Its great library and its well equipped laboratories in- vite the attention of scholars all over the world. The people can feel a deep sense of satisfaction about the long list of distinguished men, many of them trained "by the University, who are known not only in America but in foreign lands as well. But the great achievements of the University in research and in public service have not "been allowed to interfere with, a solid program of in- struction and of welfare for the undergraduate student. In reaching its present, level of distinction, the University has call- ed upon all of the people for aid. Tuition fees have never matched even the cost of instruction. Through their elected representatives, the people have contributed generously to faculty salaries, laboratory apparatus, classrooms, lecture halls, and equipment. But even though the heart of the University is in its faculty, the faculty and the students must have a place to work. Here again the people have been generous. Thirty million, dollars worth of land and "build- ings form the Physical Plant of the University. But many of the buildings are old. Research and new methods of instruction call for. constant changes in old buildings and the yearly construction of new buildings. The programs set forth in these pa,;es have been studied from one point of view, namely, what do the students, the faculty and the people of the State need in order to carry on the great work of teaching, research and public service? The proposed new buildings and the modernization of old buildings are intended only to satisfy the future needs of the University in its developing programs of instruction, research and public service. • * » '""■'' ' ' • . . .- .

Statistical Information . — The enrollment on the Urbana campus to- gether with the total floor area devoted to teaching and research, and the fid-r area per student by years from the founding of the University in I867 to 1^+2, are shown in the table on the following page. a. Enrollment: A chart showing the enrollment by years follows page 23. It will be noted that the enrollment was fairly constant until about 1883 and then started to increase at an accelerated rate until about 1920 when the average rate of increase become fairly constant as indicated by the line £*s signated as the "Long-Time Trend". There was a marked decrease in the school year 1°;17~18 because of World War I but following the war the increase was very rapid until 1930-31 when the effects of the financial crisis in 1929 started a downward trend, which continued until the year 1933~3^« At this time the en- rollment began to recover rapidly until the peak enrollment of 13»380 was reach- ed in 1938-39* Unsettled conditions in Europe, the beginning of World War II, the entry of this country into that war and especially the operation of the Selective Service Act, have caused sudden and continuing reductions since 19^2. The chart shows quite clearly that enrollments fluctuate above and below the line which indicates the Long-Time Trend. This line indicates what the enroll- ment might have been if all conditions affecting enrollment had been "normal". In periods of prosperity the enrollments fall above this line and during the periods of war and depression they fall below. The normal increase in enroll- ment as indicated by the Long-Time Trend has been 330 per year since 1920. If the Long-Time Trend continues until 1950. the normal enrollment will be about l6, SCO as indicated on the chart. The orobable enrollment in 1950 has been given careful study and is discussed in paragraph 7» Predicted Enrollment. Enrollment statistics include all who register during a year exclusive of Summer Session. The Maximum number registered at one time is about 95$ °f this enrollment. • ' •".

Part II, page 12 21 b. Floor Areas: The significant floor area for the purpose of this report is the gross area devoted to teaching and research. This gross area is 2,790 f 000 sq, ft. and constitutes Sk per cent of the total floor area of all "buildings on the campus. It includes all classrooms, lecture rooms, auditoriums and laboratories, which contribute directly to the teaching or research programs, and the Armory, gymnasium, power plant, storage and service areas, garages, barns, offices and administrative areas, halls, stairways, and toilets, which contribute indirectly to these programs. It does not include areas occupied by the State Surveys and areas devoted to the feeding and housing of students, to social and recreational activities or to student welfare such as the Residence Halls, Union Building, Skating Rink, Stadium and Hospital, The latter buildings serve very useful purposes but do not add to the floor area available for teaching and research, Prom data given in the table on page 23 t it may be determined that the average annual increase in the gross floor area, devoted to teaching and research, for the 30-year period from 1900 to 1930 was 74,000 sq, ft. This growth is shown graphically on the chart preceding page 2^. For the lU-year period since 1930» the total increase in the gross floor area devoted to teach- ing and research has been only 190,000 sq, ft, or an average of 13t600 square feet per year. The deficiency during this period was, therefore, 7^,000 - 13»600 s 60,U00 sq. ft, per year. In 193#» there was a large decrease in floor area due to the razing of University Hall because of structural weaknesses. This reduction was offset in I9U0 by the completion of Gregory Hall, The proposed program, which is to end in 1950 » is designed to make up the deficiencies which have occurred since 1930 by providing for the increases which normally would have taken place during the 20-year period from 1930 to 1950, c.

These data indicate that the ratio of 225 square feet. per student is a reasonable one for the program now in operation at Illinois, d # Equipment Costs: A new building cannot be placed in operation until the necessary equipment is provided. Some of this equipment, such as heating, lighting and plumbing fixtures, is fixed and is considered a part of the building. Other special equipment such as testing machines, motors, generators and gas engines for instructional purposes, is fastened more or less permanently in place and should be considered a part of the building. Chairs, tables, desks and much minor special equipment is not attached to a building but is essential to its being useful and must be provided. All of these are included either in the building costs or as special equipment items in the projects which are submitted. An estimate of the cost of special equipment which must be pro- vided to make new buildings useful was obtained by dividing the present total cost of the University's equipment inventory, which is $8,500,000, by the total present floor space of 2,790,000 square feet to obtain a unit cost of about $3 per square foot of floor space. The total actually included in the requests is much less than this. 7. Predicted Enrollments . -—The University of Illinois has already witnessed two periods of recovery from sharply reduced enrollments. During World War I and during the Great Depression it was freely predicted that colleges and universities would not recover. In both instances, however, the number of youth seeking a higher education increased beyond all expectation. Many of the Vo Part II, page IS 28- X%&?!£» factors that led to the increases in 1920 and in 1935 are still significant. They are listed below: a. The continued faith of the .American people in the personal and social "benefits that accrue from general and from technical training. Education remains an integral part of the American way of life. b. In spite of age changes in the population brought about by a declining birth rate, a larger number of high school graduates is seeking advanced training. c. The American standards of living have made and will continue to make it possible for youth to attend college in increasing numbers. d. The increasingly technical character of our culture, the develop- ment of social and government service, the advances made in management and in transportation, and the demand for a greater number of professionally trained people in almost all areas will require an increased amount of education beyond the high school level. Special factors bearing on the immediate future are: (1) Federal legislation which makes liberal provisions for the further education of veterans of the present war. (2) Labor, management and the public at large are recognizing that a longer period of education is both an economical way of meeting the prob- lems of .unemployment, and a form of capital investment in the future of the country. (3) The specialized training programs established by the Army and the Navy have stimulated the interests and abilities of hundreds of thousands of youth who would not otherwise have continued in any type of school. When due allowance is made for these factors, it is reasonable to ex- pect a major increase in the number of students in colleges and universities after the war. Based on general studies by the United States Office of Education lips g<3 • ■ Part II, page 17 29 and on studies made "by other institutions comparable with the University of Illinois, the following predictions are suggested as a reasonable point of de- parture for the projected building programs!

Present floor area (see chart after p. 23) « 2,790 « 000 Net floor area required 990,000 sq, ft. The chart on the following page presents these data graphically, * Also see under "Floor Areas" on page 2*+, .«•"<«>'< iS * v \ \\\T,TT \ \ \ \ V N \ o \ ^ U.

It is expected that for several years enrollments will "be considerably above the long-time trend "because of the return of the students whose education has heen interrupted, Hovravcr, it is not desirable to build to meet this abnormal condition which will not last. During the period of abnormal enrollments, even if all of the estimated space is provided, congested conditions will pre- vail. Policies which may be educationally undesirable may have to be adopted during this period but the solution should not be to provide adequate building space for the abnormal situation. If it should so happen that the predicted enrollment is attained before 1950 t steps will have to be taken to accelerate the construction of new space and if this enrollment is not attained until after 1950, the time when additional new buildings must be provided will be postponed until the enrollment catches up with the floor area available. There seems to be no possibility that a peak enrollment has suddenly. been reached and that the space called for in this re- port will not be needed, Factors are in operation which may eventually retard the rate of increase of enrollment in universities and enrollment curves may eventually tend to flatten out. However, it seems probable that no significant change in the general trend will occur in the short period between now and 1950 especially with so many factors in operation now which tend to cause the rate of increase to become greater. The estimate of 225 square feet per student and the total of 990,000 square feet is for new floor area required for teaching and research and does not include such buildings as residence halls and a Faculty-Graduate- Student Center which are only indirectly related to teaching and research. Also, this ratio and I "' Part II, page IS 81 this total do not provide for the Veterinary College which recently has been in- augurated by the Board of Trustees. The registration in this college will he . small at first and gradually build up to the capacity of the buildings provided. During this period of growth the ratio of floor area, per student will tend to drop toward the ratio of 225 square feet per student. However, if standards are maintained this ratio wil^ not be reached because veterinary training requires much more space per student than the average of the programs now in operation. If junior colleges develop in Illinois, there will be a tendency for the University to become an institution for advanced undergraduate and graduate training and with increased research programs. This trend will tend to increase the floor area required per student. In any case, it seems certain that the research program will continue to increase, and bring with it an increase in the floor area required per student. In order to keep the total new floor area available in 1950 for present programs within the 990,000 sq. ft, which would provide for the predict- ed enrollment for that year, many requests for new floor area. have been included and most of the others have been only partially complied with. For comparisons of requested and alloted floor areas see page *+0. 9. Cost Per Square Foot o£ Floor Area . — The estimated cost per square foot of floor area for new buildings constructed during the period 19^5-50 has been developed for each project by making use of the costs of similar projects previously constructed by the University and adjusting for future increases in construction costs. The estimates on future increases in construction costs have been based on the Building Cost Index of the Engineering News-Becord, as given in the April 20, I9HU issue. It is predicted by that authority that construction costs in the early part of the post-war period, when normal construction gets under !£ i • Part II, page 20 32- way, will probably be from 25 to H5 per cent over the level of the period from 1938 to 19^0. In this report, a factor of 37 per cent has been used for this adjustment. The unit cost for each project will, vary widely, of course, with the type of construction, use, and other factors. The Engineering News-Hecord Building Cost Index chart is given on the following page. It will be noted that the average index for the period from 1938 to I9U0 was 200o If this is increased by 25 to U5 per cent to obtain the predicted post-war index, that index will be from 250 to 290 as shown on the chart. Using an intermediate increase of 37 per cent, the post-war index of 1.37 * 200 a 27^ is obtained for use in this report. The cost indexes for throe of the present buildings are shown on the chart. In 1923 when Talbot Laboratory was constructed, the index was lgg; in 1931, when the Chemistry Annex was constructed, the index was 169; and in I9U0 when Gregory Hall was constructed, the index was 203, 10. Cost of Proposed New 3uildings and Additions— In the preliminary estimates which were given in the Summary Report of March IS, 19UU, prepared by the Committee, an average cost of $10 per square foot was used but it was stated that "It seems quite probable that the post-war cost of buildings may be more nearly $12 per square foot*. Subsequent studies made after additional informa- tion became available indicate that $12 per square foot is a better value than $10 per square foot. However, the original estimates have been adhered to. The square foot of floor area is a convenient unit for use in determining the neces- sary floor area. However, a unit cost which is more commonly used for preliminary estimates than the cost per square foot of floor area, is the. cost per cubic foot of volume included between the outer surfaces of the building.. The relation be- tween the two depends upon the story heights and other factors. The assumption that cubic foot costs are about one-sixteenth of the square foot costs is reason- able for University buildings. Ten dollars per square foot, therefore, corres- ponds to 10/l6 a 63 cents per cubic foot. m &KS o tl 21 =>l L h D Ld u Q (- U en < 5 O Q.

On the "basis of $10 per square foot, the cost of buildings and additions to provide this new floor area would he 990,000 x 10 = $9,900,000 (The total cost of the "Preferred" new building, and addition projects included in the program which is being submitted to the Post-War Planning Com- mission has been kept within this total. However, it must be realized that no space has been provided in addition to that actually needed to maintain the ratio of floor area per student which experience has shown to be necessary. Also, , it must be realized that a low cost per square foot of floor area has been used. 11 • Bemo deling and Deferred Maintenance . — In order to conserve the State 1 s investment in the University* s buildings, it is necessary to.make con- tinual repairs and replacements of various parts of these structures. The life of some parts such as roofs, mechanical equipment and flooring materials is relatively short while other parts will last indefinitely if the structure of the building is sound. Some parts become obsolete while still in sound condition. This has been particularly true of lighting, heating and plumbing equipment. The average illumination in the drafting rooms of University buildings is from S to 10 foot candles while industry now recognizes illumination of 50 or more foot candles as standard. Similar deficiencies in lighting prevail in the classrooms, offices, and libraries throughout the campus. The lighting system is obsolete and should be replaced although it is still capable of rendering service. Its life is limiited by obsolescence and not by physical failure.' Similar comments can be made concerning many other parts of the various build- ings. ts I . • ■ • ' .

On this basis, two per cent of the replacement cost of all buildings should be provided for maintaining then in effective service and protecting the investment. In. the past, the University has spent only about one per cent for these purposes. There is, therefore, a large accumu- lation of deferred maintenance. Conditions have been particularly bad since 1930 because of the shortage of funds during the depression years and the scar- city of materials and labor during the wax years. The Committee, is recommending that one per cent of the investment cost of 20 million dollars be provided for deferred maintenance for the fifteen-year period from 1930 to 1&% This would mean a sum, therefore t of 0.01 x 15 x 2E ,000 ,000 s $3t300,000 The final amount determined by careful study is about $2,900,000. The ( invest- ment cost has been used in the above computation. If the replacement cost. were used, as it really should be, this item would probably be about $U, 500,000. The major deficiency in the University 1 s building.-space is the labora- tories, most of which are between forty and fifty years old. In the early nineteen hundreds the University* s laboratories were outstanding among those located in the universities of the country. As the years have passed, other in- stitutions have constructed laboratories which have taken advantage of modern developments. Because of its early appreciation of the value of laboratories, the University of Illinois is now in an inferior position in this respect. Rather than to attempt to recondition the old laboratories, much bettor results will be secured by constructing new laboratories and remodeling and modernizing some of the present laboratory space into classrooms to provide for the expected increases in enrollment. In addition to the better results obtained» by this procedure, the cost would probably be little if any greater than that of zt *8 'i* i • , Part II, page 23 35 reconditioning the old laboratories, For this reason, laboratories predominate in the new building projects which are proposed. The use of many buildings will remain unchanged. In this program, it is proposed to modernize some of these buildings so as to bring them up to present standards. It is proposed to improve the health and safety conditions in present buildings as nearly as possible to the requirements of The National Board of Fire Underwriters, The State Department of Public Health, and The national Building Code and Safety Requirements, Definite recommendations have been made by these agencies. It is im- perative that the University take steps to conform to certain of these recommen- dations or it will be in an indefensible position in case fatal accidents should occur, because of defects which were known to exist. If buildings were adequately maintained, the demand on the part of the faculty for new quarters would be much less insistent, 12, Utilities and Distribution Systems . — Although the University Power Plant at Urbana is relatively new, additions to the plant and the distribution systems are now necessary to complete the original program of expanding the dis- tribution system to reduce back pressure at the plant; reduce pressure drop in the system; insure continuous service to the various buildings, and provide sufficient capacity for the present and future loads as well as distribution service lines to the proposed new buildings. Additions are also requested for water production, storage, and dis-, tribution to insure adequate supply and fire protection for existing buildings. Further expansion is, of course, necessary to provide for the new buildings. '£&*£-$ KSSKtf Fart II, page 24 "**" 13, Canrpus Im provements . — Additional streets, sidewalks, and land- scaping are requested to meet increased traffic on the campus and for the pro- jected new "buildings. All such improvements conform to a long established, hut continuously studied, campus plan, lK Operation and Maintenance .— The Physical Plant Department has made a study of present operation and maintenance costs and has made recommen- dations concerning the allowances which would avoid "deferred maintenance". The present schedule for operation and maintenance and that recommended for the future are given in the following table in terms of cents per square foot of floor area per year: OPERATION AM) MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE Values are in Cents per Square Foot of Floor Area per Year ■ ■ ■ I I | l. f .

The present allowance of 30 cents per square foot is about four per cent of the average investment cost of the buildings in the campus. Because of the gradual rise of construction costs throughout the life of the University, the reproduction costs for present buildings would be about fifty per cent above the investment costs. In general, it would seem that an annual allowance of four per cent of the construction cost of proposed build- ing or of the reproduction rather than the investment cost of present buildings would be adequate for any consideration of the over-all aspects of the proposed building program on the TJrbana campus. , VP9S5' 15* frand Acquisition, — A minimum program of laud acquisition is pro- posed to provide land necessary for the new buildings proposed in this program. All studies for the campus development emphasize the need of expanding the campus east and west between Green Street and Armory Avenue. This is needed to reduce student and faculty pedestrian travel, to distances which can be traversed in the ten-minute interval between classes, to permit grouping of buildings housing functions of related interests for more effective operation, and to permit the construction of additions to existing buildings in order to provide additional space to accommodate increases in enrollment.

PROPOSED PROJECTS Introduction . — In the preceding section the general considerations « which have entered into formulating the building program for the Urbana Campus are given. In this section, the specific projects which enter into that pro- gram are first summarized and then presented in detailo Summary of Projects ,* — The Summary of Preferred Projects follows page ^1 . In this summary Projects Ho. 1 to lH are arranged "by Colleges, Projects Ho. 15 to 22 are classed as General Projects "because they serve all parts of the University, Projects 27o. 23 to 39 serve the entire University but are administered by the Physical Plant Department, and Project, Wo, Uo is of general interest although proposed by the Athletic Association. This project, is not administered by the Physical Plant Department as indicated in the Summary. The Summary includes (1) the class to which each project belongs, as described on pages x to xiii and summarized on page xiv, (2) the estimated cost of new, modernized or remodeled building space, (3) the estimated cost of any land which has to be acquired for the project, (H) the estimated cost of special equipment of types which are not ordinarily included in the cost of a building but are in- cluded on the University's inventory, (5) the estimated cost of all architectural and engineering services including the preparation of plans and specifications and the supervision of construction, (6) the total estimated cost, and (7) the estimated additional cost of building operation and maintenance which does, not include the cost of additional educational and research staffs or programs. The estimated cost of equipment for the Power Plant and the distribution systems in Projects No. 23 and Uo. 2^, is included under equipment because of the special : i>-W^'& • " 9° Part II, page W* H conditions in these projects. However, such equipment is not carried on the University inventory. In parts of the report where the cost of architectural and engineering services are not listed separately, they are included in the "building cost. Also, the cost of equipment for Projects Ho. 23 and No. 2^- is usually included in the "building cost,, Summary of Desirable and Deferrable Projects . — The Desirable and De- ferrable Projects are listed on pages *+2 and ^3. Frospectuses for these projects were not submitted to the Illinois Post-War Planning Commission. In general, it has been necessary to reduce the size of preferred projects considerably below the requested sizes even though, in most cases, the requested sizes could be justified. Also, it has been necessary to omit from the preferred list many projects which are urgently needed. These reductions and omissions were made because the total cost of the preferred projects was becoming so large. It seems quite probable that enrollments will make it necessary to ask the Legislature for appropriations for some of the desirable projects even though they are given, this classification in the program submitted to the Fost-War Planning Commission. Comparisons of Requested and Allotted Floor Areas , — The extent to which the sizes of preferred projects have been reduced is indicatec" 1 . by the statistics given on page '^.for certain projects. The table on this page shows (l) the present floor area occupied by the department or other administrative unit sponsoring a project, (2) the new floor area requested, (3) the present floor area to be retained after the completion of the proposed project, (k) the funds allotted to each project, by the Committee, (5) the estimate of the cost per square foot of floor area, made by the Fhysical Plant Department, (6) the floor area which it is estimated can be constructed with the allotment, and (7) the sum of the retained and allotted areas. All floor areas are gross and include Part II, page JJo M the areas of halls, stairways, toilets, etc. It will "be noted that the allotted areas are very much lower than the requested areas except in Projects No. lU and No. 20 where the areas of proposed additions are fixed by the areas of corres- ponding additions or other architectural retirement a However, in most cases, a comparison of the present areas with the retained plus allotted areas will in- dicate that some increase in floor area available to the department has been provided for even though the increases are not as large as they should be. Campus Maps.. — Following page UU are four pages of campus maps printed on transparent paper. The fourth map* printed in black, shows existing campus buildings. The third map, printed in red, shows the buildings included in the preferred projects. By inserting a blank sheet of paper under this map, the proposed locations for the preferred buildings can be seen and by removing the blank sheet and placing the third map over the fourth map, the relation of the, location of the preferred buildings to those of the existing buildings is seen. The locations of desirable buildings are shown in green on the second map and possible locations of other buildings, including those classed as deferrable, are shown in black on the first map. These can be examined separately. By superimposing all of the transparent pages, the -"ultimate* developments of the campus can be visualized. A map of the campus showing all of. the classes of buildings is bound just inside of the back cover of this report. Description of Pro.jects . — Each preferred project is described on the pages which follow.

Description of Project s Kind - New construction, separate build- ing. Construction - Brick exterior bearing walls with hollow brick or tile backing, steel or reinforced concrete structural frame; reinforced concrete floor beams and slabs, slate roof, plain interior finish, f» Justification .? One of the major changes in research and ins trac- tion during the post-war period will occur in the field of Chemical Engineering, New apparatus and new processes have been developed at an extraordinary speed because of military and industrial needs. Up to the present time, the University has been compelled to restrict its work in this area to a small corner of Noyes Laboratory, The area is wholly inadequate, in space and equipment, to the teach- ing and research programs that should be developed. The demand for instruction in Chemical Engineering has far exceeded the facilities now available so it has been necessary to place restrictions on registration, g» Relation to Other Pro.iects ; Independent of other projects but will contribute its share to the need for increased facilities at the Power Plant and extensions of distribution systems. The space vacated in Noyes Laboratory is to be remodeled as covered by another project. In. order to use this space, it is essential that provision be made for remodeling. 3* *. • ■ . .: .. • .; . . ; .. . . > "•■•-■'" ; • ■ Part II, page 34 4ff- h f Priority ; Preferred. i f Biennium ; , First j.

Construction - Brick exterior bearing walls with hollow brick or tile backing, steel or reinforced concrete structural frame; reinforced concrete floor beams and slabs, slate roof, plain interior finish. Particular attention is to be paid to providing adequate ventila- tion. Coldrooms, constant temperature rooms and air-conditioned rooms for experimental research are proposed, f # Justification : The Department of Chemistry at the University of Illinois is one of the most distinguished departments in the country. The field of chemistry will continue to play a major role in the post-war economy. The distinction of the department and the tremendous influence of its graduates have been achieved in a building and with equipment that have become increas- ingly inadequate and dangerous. The east section of Noyes Laboratory, built in 1915, is relatively modern and will continue to be used by the Chemistry Depart- ment, but even in this section major changes must be made. The west section, erected in 1902, has long been known as a fire hazard. Even with the construc- tion of the Chemistry Annex in 1931 for introductory work, the building has been •»• ■ ■ ■■■» . . ' : • • ; : • v . ' '■■ : •• , ■ i | ■• • Part II, page 85 *« ^ ^8- overcrowded and the facilities for research seriously limited. The complete modernization of the east section of Sfoyes Laboratories for the use of the Chemistry De-oartment is proposed. The cost of reconstructing the west section so that it could continue in use for Chemistry would be excessive and the result would be unsatisfactory for this use. The present proposal is to remodel and modernize the west section for classrooms and offices for departments in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and to build a new unit for Chemistry to take the place of the space vacated # by that department. The construction of the new unit is covered by this project. The remodeling of the west section is another project. Chart following page 37 shows age of present laboratories, g. Relation to Other Projects ; Will occupy ground space now occupied by wing of the Old Agric^ilture 3uilding, constructed in 1900, which houses the Animal Husbandry and Dairy Husbandry Laboratories, It will, therefore, be neces- sary to provide for the new Animal Husbandry Laboratories at the new Dairy Hus- bandry Laboratories before this project can be started. These are covered by other projects. Also, before the space vacated in 1'oyes Laboratories can be used for other purposes, it will be necessary to remodel that space as proposed in another project. This project will contribute its share to the need for additional capacity in the Power Plant and extension of the distribution systems, h. Priority ! Preferred. i, 3iennium !

Part II, page ift Name of Project : NOYES LABORATORIES HEMODELING- a« Cost : Remodeling $5^9,000, b. Basic Reason for Heed ! These laboratories are made up of a west section, constructed in 1902 of faulty slow-burning construction and, an east section, of about equal size, constructed of fireproof construction in 1915* The west section involves a fire hazard, when used for chemistry with its many open flames, "but can he made entirely satisfactory as a recitation and classroom "building to provide for expansion of congested departments in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. The plumbing of the laboratory tables is obsolete and in bad condition. The ventilating system is inoperative. This causes ob- jectionable and dangerous conditions because of the fumes involved in chemical experiments and research. The east section is fireproof. By installing an adequate ventilat- ing system and modernizing in other respects,. this section can be made suitable for continued use by the Chemistry Department, .The Bacteriology Laboratories occupy a small amount of space in the east section. It is proposed to assign more space to these laboratories, c.

Description of Pro.iect : No basic changes are planned in the struc- ture of the building but it is. planned to modernize the east section and remodel and modernize the west section. The ceiling of the fourth story is of light wood construction. It is planned to replace this with fire resistant construction. The open wood stairways are to be replaced by closed fireproof stairways, Metal . . ( -'■■■■ : .....

New floor surfaces will be installed throughout. f. Justification : The justification of this project depends upon the justification of the construction of new space for chemistry and upon the need for more classroom space in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences to provide for the expected increase in enrollment. It is more desirable and probably cheaper to construct new laboratory space and remodel the vacated space for classrooms, to take care of increased enrollments, than it is to attempt to modernize laboratories and build new classroom space to provide for the increased enrollment. This building is ideally located for classrooms for Liberal Arts and Sciences because it is located in the heart of the middle campus where the activities of that college are conducted. g. Relation to Other Projects : Can only be carried out after new space for Chemistry and Chemical Engineering has been provided. kf Priority : Preferred. i, Biennium ; Second j.

The Department of Home Economics, therefore, renders to the oldest of all institutions — the home — the same kind of service as is rendered to the school, the church, the government, and to many forms of business. These other institutions demand technically trained personnel but the home alone carries on much of its activity without such train- ing. If home standards are to be raised, the University must strengthen its work in food and nutrition, in the practical care of the infant. and the child, in family relations, household managements and kindred fields. A large share of in- struction and research in home economics requires laboratory space. But class- rooms, both large and small, are also needed. Storage space for large amounts of illustrative material is imperative. For each of these needs, the present quarters are inadequate.

Also many new devices have been and are being developed as a war necessity.. The fields of electronics, radar, ultra high frequencies, instrumentation, servomechanisms, and airplane applications are growing very rapidly. It is highly desirable that the students of the post- war period have the. opportunity of studying and experimenting with the apparatus in these new fields. The present laboratories are now so crowded that there is no room for the new equipment without disposing of some of the present standard equipment.

Further, "because of the type of construction in the present buildings as well as the crowded condition, there is little, if any, flexibility in the present laboratories to. meet the changes that will undoubtedly have to be met in the next quarter century. To meet the demands already made upon the laboratories the machines are crowded more closely together than is usual in many industrial plants where tests are made by experienced employees. Requiring inexperienced students to work under these conditions has introduced a hazard greater than is met in industry and although no serious accident has occurred so far, the threat of one is very real, For the new fields of research and instruction, no adequate provision for laboratory instruction could have been made, nor can adequate provision be made now in the present building. If the Electrical Engineering Department is to keep its instruction abreast of the new developments and the standards set by other universities, additional fadilities designed specifically for electrical engineer- ing purposes must be provided, g* Relation to Other Projects ; To be located on site of present Health Service Station, It will be necessary to provide new quarters for this Station before this building can be built.

Cost; Building $200,000; Equipment $1,500,000; Total $1,700,000. t>« Basic Reason for Need : To provide facilities for utilizing the betatron, developed by Dr. Kerst, of the Department of Physics, for Investi- gating the high energy phenomena and molecular physics; the strong possibili- ty that a superior device is available for treatment of deep-seated cancer; and the numerous industrial possibilities such revealing hidden structural defects in machines and the quality of welds. c « Location : South campus near Power Plant. d. Use : Primarily a research laboratory. e. Description of Project : The basic feature of the project is a large betatron with 250 million electron volt capacity which is estimated to cost $1,300,000. The building to house the machine is estimated to cost $200,000 and will be of fireproof construction. f. Justification : The invention of the Betatron is one of the great achievements in the history of Physics. The proper development of this instrument and the exploration of the powers of a larger instrument make a special building absolutely essential. The new laboratory will be primarily a research laboratory but nonetheless a place for the intensive education of advanced students. In the training of graduate students, equal emphasis is placed on thorough training in course work and upon directed research. In the latter, every effort is made to give the student the benefit of accumulated experience and knowledge and to develop his powers for independent and responsible investigation. g.

BETATRON LABORATORY In order to reduce the total cost of the projects proposed for the first post-war biennium, the 250»million electron volt betatron has been eliufe inated. The estimated cost of this project was $1,700,000. Under this project number it is now proposed to build a Physics Re= search Building in which the present 30 aBra iHion electron volt betatron can be housed and which will provide space for other projects in physics and possibly the larger betatron if funds can be found for its construction. The present small betatron is now located in the Power Plant in the space provided for a generator which had to be eliminated to reduce the original cost of this building. The first step in increasing the electrical capacity of the Power Plant will be to install this generator. It is, therefore, necessary to provide other space for the present small generator so that this extremely important research project can continue.

Cost : Building $700,000; Equipment $Uo,000; Total $7^0,000. b. Basic Reason for Need : The College of Pine and Applied Arts was established in 1931 & n< i includes the Department of Art, Architecture, LancW scape Architecture, and the School of Music. Previous to that date the Depart^ ment of Art was in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and work in that department did not lead to a degree in that field. The registration was very small. Since the organization of the new college and the inauguration of the degree of Bachelor of Fine Arts, the full-time registration in Art has quad=» rupled. The funds provided by the State for buildings have been very re=> stricted since 193L There has, therefore, been no opportunity to properly house the Department of Art. It is scattered in six widely separated build= ings in inadequate space not designed to suit its specialized needs. No space is provided for the display and educational use of art collections valued at over one=half million dollars. c.

Justification : The unsolved problems of child development make it desirable to provide a child laboratory in which the development of the same children between the ages of approximately two and eighteen may be continuously studied and in which all interested departments of the University, such as Home Economics, Education, Biology, Psychology, Physical Education, and any engineer^ ing may study the problems of developing children and youth. In no American university are both of these essential conditions now being met. This research objective of the Laboratory School is the basis for a teaching program. The college education of teachers and others planning to work with children may be made much more effective if opportunities are Part II, page 52 S3 provided for directed observation of children in many situations. The pro» posed building will provide adequate observation facilities designed so that those observing will not interfere with the research program or with the normal activities of the children. Direct service to parents, to public schools, and to institutions working in the field of child development will be encouraged through the provision of a laboratory school in which research in progress and the results of research may be observed by those working with phildren through«out Illinois, g.

The south wing was intended to house a swimming pool. Space which was designed as a locker- shower-dressing room has been given over to a games room. Other activities are housed in the Woman's Building. Obviously, these are not conditions which satisfy the health and physical education pro- grams of a large university.

Justification : A new "building for the University "bands was in- . eluded "by the University Board of Trustees in the last "biennial "budget requests. The State Legislature concurred whole-heartedly by appropriating funds for the new "building. Aside from a suitable suite of rooms for the famous Sousa Band Library, quarters for the valuable Carl Busch Museum collection of old instru- ments, and facilities for the annual band clinics, a new band building would serve as a center for an important phase of the artistic activities of both faculty and students. Even though a main purpose of the building is to provide rehearsal rooms for the University bands, it has long been recognized that con- certs, individual training, and service at public functions are an integral part of the educational program of the University.

Justifications An enormous, expansion in college and university libraries has taken place in recent years. Among the reasons for the rapid growth is the enlargement of curricula, partly by the expansion of well estab- lished fields and partly by the development of entirely new teaching fields.. The body of knowledge, with which college subjects deal, has become so vast and diversified that few subjects can now be treated satisfactorily with single text- books; instead the use of many books in libraries is required. There has been increasing registration in the social sciences, a field which produces new mate- rial at a rapid rate and which is dependent upon access to a wide range of mate- rial. Survey courses have been introduced also as a basis for general education.; these courses cannot be successfully taught with textbooks but require a wide 1 » !

Finally, as indicated above, research has "become a prime function of -universities and the demands made "by research on library resources are virtually limitless. The University of Illinois Library is the largest American state uni- versity library, and. one of the three or four largest of all university libraries in the United States, The Illinois book collection. has doubled in size, on an average, every seven years for the past forty years. The Library now holds approximately 2,000,000 volumes. The use of the Library has kept pace with its physical growth. In the last normal year before American entrance into the war, i.e., 19*40~Hl, the Library had a total circulation of 1,000,000 volumes, ex~ elusive of reference service and use made by those having direct access to the book stacks. The need for building additions is urgent if adequate library service is to be given after the war. In a number of ways the Library has outgrown its present quarters and provision should be made for several new activities. The rapid filling of space is a reflection of the active efforts made to build up the book collection and in general to develop here a groat research library, A large increase in the University's enrollment following the war is certain. This fact, added to changes in methods of instruction, heavily emphasizing library research and study, will undoubtedly result in more intensive use of the library than ever before.

Part II, page - 97 Name of Project : RESIDENCE HALLS a. Cost : Building and Equipment $3,000,000. This fund would "be used to finance a partially self=»li qui dating project costing "between four and five million dollars. This includes the cost of modernizing Illini Hall. b. Basic Season for Need : The present housing facilities in Cham=> paign and Urbana were inadequate for the pre=war enrollments and will be grossly inadequate to provide for the expected post-war enrollments. As may be seen from the chart on the following page, the University of Illinois has the smalls est percentage of its students in dormitories of any Big Ten School. The high= est percentage is at the University of Iowa where 31»3 P er cent of the students are in University dormitories. The University of Illinois has the lowest with 7.2* per cent. This is in spite of the fact that the ratio of the enrollment to the town population is much higher than at any other Big Ten School. Sixty per cent or more of the enrollment at some Big Ten Schools live at home, while at the University of Illinois the ratio is about five per cent. Also, because the proportionate number of rooming houses and homes where students might live in Urbana and Champaign is much smaller than at any other Big Ten School. The other extreme exists at the University of Chicago and Northwestern University, both of which have about twice the percentage of students in University dormi^ tories as the University of Illinois, in spite of the vastly greater population of the surrounding areas. The present capacity of the Women's Residence Halls is 350» the Men's Residence Halls 370, and Illini Hall for men, 80, giving a total capacity of 800, If an enrollment of 12,290 were distributed in present housing facilities, the distribution would be as shown on the chart following page JS.

It seems clear that substantial increases in housing facilities can only come through increasing the University dormitories. No new fraternity or sorority houses can be expected, private capital will not build new rooming houses because such investments do not pay. The increases from other sources are certain to be small. The construction of new dormitories will not cause hardships on pre=* war rooming=house owners or operators because all suitable rooming houses will be fully utilized. Failure to provide adequate housing quarters to take care of prospective students will result in many going elsewhere. Under such con= ditions the towns of Urbana and Champaign would suffer and the University* s usefulness would be improved, A large number of the present rooming houses are from 25 to 50 years old, and some are in rather bad state of repair, have inadequate toilet facilities and are depreciating rapidly. The only means of providing adequate housing for an increasing student body is through the construction of University dormitories.

For an enrollment of l6,S00, it will he necessary to find quarters for H,500 more students than the number given in the preceding table. Most of these will have to find rooms in rooming houses of poor quality or at excessive distances from the campus, if residence halls are not constructed. In fact, it seems quite likely that the enrollment at the University will be limited by the available rooming house capacity. It -is quite probable that this effect has already been felt. New dormitories are an urgent need. c. Location ; Men's Residence Halls are proposed for the west side of the .South campus and Women's Residence Halls for the east side of the South campus, d ?

C Contrary to general opinior., the residence halls in a college cr university are not merely places where students may live, i'hrough supervised study hours, tutorial plans and regulated social activities, residence for students becomes an integral part of the educational life of an institution. This is the main goal behind the proposal to increase the number of residence halls both for men and for women. It is estimated that, if enroll- ment increases as expected after the war, the community will be short on housing accommodations for well over two thousand students. The safest guarantee of adequate facilities for residence, for supervised study and for controlled social activity is construction under the auspices of the University, • < - Part II, page 68 g.

The Health Service is an extremely active organi- zation responsible for the maintenance of a healthful environment on the campus including water supply, food inspection and living conditions. It is responsible for giving a health examination to all students who are entering the University for the first time; the prevention and control of corsnonicable disease; the administration of first aid in case of accident or illness and the encouragement of students to acquire health habits. The proper functioning of the Health Service is essential if student health is to be maintained. Adequate quarters are an important requisite to proper functioning, g.

Justification ; The University of Illinois Press, employing more than thirty persons, edits, manufactures, and publishes books and printed material used by the University equivalent to a commercial business of a quarter of a million dollars a year. This will increase as the University grows. The shop is located in a basement that is overcrowded as well as unsuited to the work. Modern printing processes require not only adequate space, but proper lighting and the control of such factors as temperature and humidity. The Uni=. versity Health Service and the Chief of the Division of Industrial Hygiene of the State Department of Public Health have recommended removal to more sanitary quarters. The offices and editorial rooms are crowded and poorly arranged, and are separated to an extent not conducive to the best work. A new building is needed to relieve such bad conditions and to provide for the economical and efficient can tralizatiou of all graphic arts processes and activities under one roof.

Justification : The general administrative offices on the Urbana campus are extremely crowded. In education as in industry, efficient adminis- trative service requires a fairly close concentration of general offices, and speedy channels of communication from one office to another. A part of the space occupied by the general administrative officers was originally constructed as a classroom building. Partial modernization has been effected, but the en- tire administrative machinery of the University would work more smoothly if two new wings were added in order to complete the building as it was originally de- signed. One wing is being proposed in the present program. Offices that are now dispersed in many different buildings, some of which are scarcely worth modernizing, could then be assembled in one place for the convenience of both facility and _ students. g» Relation to Other Projects ; Construction could proceed without interference with other projects.

Description of Project ; Addition of present "building and new elec- tric and steam generating units. One 3i9 00 kw electric generator and one SO, 000 lb. per hr, , steam generator are proposed, f , Justification ; The Abhott Power Plant serving the Urhana campus is at present deficient in firm electrical generating capacity. The present power plant, includes three 80,000 lhs, per hr. boilers with a firm capacity*of l60,000 Tbs, per hr. , and two 3t000 kw generators with a firm capacity of 3»000 kw. The peak steam load at the present time is 160,000 lhs, per hr, and the peak electric load is 3*100 kw. Of the two electric generating units, one is a back pressure type machine and the second one is an automatic extraction condensing machine. The original plans for the Abhott Power Plant included three electric generating units; however, one was eliminated and only two installed because of lack of funds. During the spring and summer months it is only practical to run the con- densing machine. Loads of 2,600 to 3»300 kw have already been carried during this period. If the present condensing machine were lost due to failure, the campus would be without power or light for demands in excess of 1,000 kw. The present school program of three semesters does not allow sufficient time between semesters to overhaul the generating units, thus necessitating a firm capacity for the entire year. * Firm capacity is capacity with largest unit out of service for repairs. *" :' ' .

Description of Project; Extensions, additions and replacements of portions of. the steam, air, electric and gas distribution systems, f # Justification ; In addition to certain alterations that must be made to present distribution systems to meet immediate demands, additions to, extensions of, and replacement of certain portions of the system must be made in order to provide services for expected normal growth of campus utility demands and for new buildings requested in this program. The following is analysis of comparative conditions for the present campus and the contemplated building additions? Present Campus Cubage Peak Steam Load Energy Consumed Peak Load 70 i 000, 000 cu, ft. 160,000 lbs. hr. 13,000,000 kw. hrs. 3,700 kw 95,500,000 cu. ft. 225,000 lbs. hr. 30,000,000 kw. hrs. g,500 kw Steam and Air Distribution System ~~The original steam distribution system was designed for pressures of 125 lb. gage at saturated steam temperatures employ- ing cast iron valves and fittings with provisions for expansion of pipes to meet those conditions. The new power plant was designed to meet modern turbo-genera- tor design conditions for maximum pressures of 375 I'd* gage at temperature of 750°E. The portion of the high pressure distribution system constructed at the same time as the new power plant was designed for the above pressures and tem~ wm* • ' . Part II, page 81 m peratures, and the same portion of the low pressure system was designed for pressures of 150 lb. gage at temperatures of 1+50°P. with corresponding superb- heat. The increased pressures and temperatures require (1) the replacement of all cast iron valves, fittings and trim, and (2) the redesign of expansion joints, anchor points, and pipe work to compensate for increased expansion of steam mains due to higher operating or super=»heat temperatures. At present, the major portion of the steam distribution system and pipe work north of the Auditorium passes through the "basement of the buildings. This condition is extremely hazardous in the event of failure of cast iron trim. One such failure has already occurred in the basement of the Auditorium (fortunately when building was not occupied), filling the building with steam which could have no doubt resulted in serious loss of life had the failure occurred two hours later. Also demands have grown beyond the capacity of the steam mains in the present system, making it necessary to increase the size of the mains. In place of redesigning the distribution system to eliminate the hazards and to provide for increased capacities, it will be more economical to construct new tunnels along Wright Street and Mathews Avenue, closing the loop at Green Street, Steam service to buildings inside and outside the loop will be supplied through buried conduit as the most economical type of service. This loop, together with the closing of the loop on south Sixth Street, east on South Drive and north along Mathews Avenue to Nevada Street, will also make it possible to supply steam to the new buildings included as a part of this pro=» gram without additional steam mains being installed in the present tunnel from the Abbott power Plant to the junction at the corner of Sixth Street and Gregory Drive. The closing of the south loop is necessary to supply steam to present buildings without new buildings being added 9 and the result— ing reduction in back pressure on the turbines at the power plant will wo m mmn Part II, page §2 result in a material saving in fuel consumption, The closing of this loop was included in the original program for the construction of the Abbott Power Flant, hut was eliminated "because of lack of funds. An additional compressed air supply main from the Abbott Power Flant is required to even out variations in pressure on present system and to supply compressed air for servicing new buildings included in this program. Electrical Distribution System~ ~At the time the Abbott power Plant was con- structed the electric distribution system was designed to include nine ^,000 volt feeders to nine 1,000 kw capacity load centers, each load center supplying a group of adjacent buildings, A reserve electric feeder was designed and in- stalled as the name implies, to serve any one of the main load center feeders in the event of failure of one of the feeders. Because of lack of funds at that time, it was necessary to eliminate three of the load centers and to use the reserve feeder to supply energy for the area north of Green Street, which is still being served by sub-feeders at 2,300 volts. With the contemplated expan- sion and resulting increase in electrical load to practically double its present figure, a few of the new buildings can be added to existing load centers, but it is imperative that in addition there be installed six new load centers. The new load centers and new main feeders and new sub-feeders are shown on the Prospectus and are summarized as follows: (1) Pour new load centers, one in the New Physical Plant Service Building, one in the Old Agronomy Building, and one in the new Chemical Engineering Building will supply new buildings in their vicinity, (2) Two load centers north of Green Street are required to release the reserve feeder for its proper use and supply new and existing buildings in this section, (3) A new load center is needed for the Betatron, Airport, Radio Transmitter, and future service to the South Farm area. ■ .

The State in- stitutions, above all others, should meet the standards established by the State Department of Public Health. Domestic drinking water is circulated through the compressors at the Skating Rink and the Dairy Manufacturers Building and returned to the water dis- tribution system for use. This is a possible cross-connection and a source of contamination of drinking water, and is contrary to the standards of the State Department of Public Health.

Description of Project: Modernization of eleven existing build=> ings by alterations and replacements is in heating and ventilating systems 3 raising the intensity of artificial illumination to modern standards, replace ing old toilet fixtures and plumbing, installing automatic building heat con» trols and general improvements throughout the buildings. f. Justification : The need for funds to modernize existing buil&= ings is as great as that for the construction of new buildings. The life ex=» pectancy of the component parts of a building, such as floors, elevators, plumbs ing, heating, lighting, and ventilating systems, is such that the replacement of these parts over a period of 25 to 50 years must be provided if an acceptable standard of maintenance and usage is to be obtained and the state's investment preserved. Maintenance expenditures on the remaining portions of the building are such that a similar allowance must also be made to preserve the original condition of the structure. The Investment in buildings in Urbana is about $22,000,000, as shown in the table following page l4. An average annual expenditure of not less than 2 per cent of the replacement cost of the building should be made for repairs and replacements and, therefore, the average annual expenditures for building repairs and replacements should be $440,000.

Of the total of 108 major. buildings and additions at Urbana, 23 have teen in service from 3^ to 65 years. The state, therefore, faces a major prob- lem in the preservation of its investment, due to the age and the fact that the systematic rehabilitation of the buildings has not been made, primarily because of the lack of funds. The University faces the alternative of either tearing down such buildings, thereby losing the residual value in them, or making relatively large expenditures on them to catch up on the deferred maintenance. In addition to preserving the state* s investment, such a program will have real and practical values, such as! (a) Healthful working conditions for all employees; (b) Improvement in the morale of the staff through the provision of modern working facilities and the resulting improvement in employer-employee relationships and worker productivity; (c) The public generally judges the standard of administration and efficiency of an institution by its visual impression of the standard of operation and maintenance of the institutional property; (d) Failure to maintain buildings adequately results in requests from the occupants for new buildings. From a long-term point of view, it is definitely economical to provide a systematic rehabilitation. The amount requested, or $1»^93»000, represents the funds that should have been expended for this purpose during the past ^several years, but were not available due to limited appropriations and the unavailability of labor and material during the period of war, St Relation to Other Pro.iects ; No comment. k» Priority ; Preferred. i f Blennium t Distributed through all three bienniums; j.

MODER N IZATION OF ELEVEN EXISTING BUILDINGS Because of uncertainties which exist concerning the character of post-* war demands on the University by returning veterans, it is essential that funds be available for remodeling portions of existing buildings for new uses. It is therefore requested that the title of Project No. 28 be changed to: REMODELING AND MODERNIZATION OF EXISTING BUILDINGS and that the following sentence be considered as added to the Description of Pro- ject: "This project also includes the remodeling of buildings or portions of buildings to adapt them to new uses." The proposed revisions changes the project so that it is not restricted to "Eleven Existing Buildings" and permits the use of funds for remodeling as well as modernization.

Construction, $110,000; Equipment $21,000; Total $131,000* b. Basic Reason for Heed ; To provide additional water and equipment for use in fighting fires and a Fire Station to house the fire-fighting equipment. c. Location : .It is proposed to locate the Eire Station on the west side of the .North campus. d f Use : To protect life and property. e. Description of Pro.iect ; Extension of water main, purchase of 65- foot aerial ladder truck and a hose truck, construction of a new Fire Station, provide reserve electric lift pumps and install additional fire hydrants, all as recommended "by the National Board of Eire Underwriters. f. Justification : Funds for the above program are requested to comply with the recommendations. made "by the National Board of Fire Underwriters and out- lined in their Report No. 295, under date of May 9» 19^» and published for the Cities of Champaign and Urhana and the University of Illinois. Since the survey was completed and the report published, neither funds nor materials have been available to comply with the recommendations. The University as a public insti- tution believes that it should comply with these recommendations, and that fail- ure to do so, in the event of loss of life or property, would result in serious public condemnation. A detailed copy of this report can be obtained from the National Board of Fire .Underwriters, 85 John Street, New York City, or from the University of Illinois. The extension of water supply mains is required to complete a grid dis- tribution system necessary to supply water at sufficient volume and pressure for fire protection and for servicing the new buildings requested in this program. vf. ' ic ■ - *. i • ■.. • - Part II, page 92 1M The purchase of a 65-foot aerial ladder truck is recommended for the purpose of removing occupants from the top floors of existing bull dings in the event of a major fire. This is a necessary asset to prevent loss of life in a major fire, since the older "buildings are not provided with fire towers, fire escapes, or sprinkler systems. The reserve hose truck equipped with a turret nozzle is required to com- bat major fires of high heat intensity where large volumes of water are needed. The report of the National Board of Fire Underwriters (page 3U) recom- mends that ■ a fire station specifically. designed for fire service be built in the neighborhood of the present station." A new Fire Station is recom- mended because s (1) Present station is located on a narrow service driveway remote from but leading into a heavily congested thoroughfare approximately midway of the block between two busy street intersections. Vehicular traffic is frequently backed up by traffic-control lights at the street intersections, thus blocking the driveway from the Fire Station, (2) Present station does not provide space or facilities for (a) housing addi- tional fire fighting equipment, (b) training of personnel in the Fire Department evolutions, (c) physical training, development and conditioning of personnel, or (d) adequate living quarters. (3) The present building should ultimately be demolished and further improve- ments cannot be justified. The reserve electric circuits are recommended to provide dual source of electric energy to drive well motors, low and high lift pumps to insure continu- ous supply of water in the event of damage to or mechanical failure of the single circuits during a major fire. g.

As funds were available, this policy has been extended to existing buildings lack- ing proper acoustical conditions for the best results in teaching or office work. Many of these present areas are as yet untreated.

Basic R eason for fleed: Existing facilities are inadequate to meet even the present demands and cannot be practically expanded to meet future needs resulting from new construction, c f Location : Immediately south of Abbot Power Plant. d. Use: To provide adequate facilities for the shops, stores, and offices of the Operation and Maintenance Division of the Physical-Plant De_ partment. e. Description of Project: Kind ~ Hew Building. Construction - Brick hearing walls, structural stoel or reinforced co^rete frame, reinforced concrete floor heams and slabs, and plain interior finish. f. Justification : The present facilities assigned to the Operation and Maintenance Division of the Physical Plant Department are inadequate because: 1. Areas assigned the division are located in fourteen different buildings and scattered widely throughout the campus. 2. Present work areas are approximately 5^ per cent of the total area required for the efficient and orderly arrangement of equipment. 3. It must be borne in mind that service facilities for the operation, division have not been provided at the same rate as the growth of the University. The nature .and volume of work handled by this division is determined by the needs of the University and these needs in turn are determined by such variable factors as the size of the University and the number, size, and type of build- ings. k. The factory inspector from the State Department of Labor has consistently recommended the rearrangement of equipment in shops to provide 30 .9 Part II, page « 95 in definite aisle space, safe clearances, and working conditions for both em* ployees and the public. Xhe rearrangement of equipment cannot be accomplished in the present areas. 5. In the Wood Shop, the fire hazards which normally exist in a shop of this kind are very materially increased by an obsolete and inadequate dust collecting system and by an open painting and wood finishing space. The dust collecting system does not have capacity to remove shavings and sawdust from the power-driven equipment. 3he area available for painting and wood finishing is an unenclosed corner at the head of the stairs in a locker room which is used by students and which is without ventilation or means of temperature regu= lation. All finished wood-work is subject to damaging dust and dirt and to temperature. and humidity changes of the entire building. 6. The Electric Shop is located in a basement (entirely below grade) of an academic building with only one small window directly to the exterior, and the area is without means of ventilation. It is unhealthy . and Violates all codes for human occupancy. No toilet facilities are available. The use of the space is uneconomical and hazardous because of the ex- cessive costs and physical hazards involved in the hand handling of large quan- tities of equipment and material up and down a single, narrow stair. A large percentage of the space is usable only for storage because of the presence of large ventilating ducts which leave a clearance below of only five feet. 7. Hie plumbing Shop is without conveniences for workmen and it lacks storage space for any tools, material, or equipment. No separate space is available for the repair and adjustment of thermostatic controls, refriger= ation equipment or for the safe storage of parts or equipment in the process of repair. Standard lengths of pipe must be carried outdoors to be turned end for end in order to thread both ends of the pipe. M Part II, page 96 g. The Paint Shop and storage of flammable paint materials is located in a non-fireproof structure which also houses a furniture repair shop and key shop. All original keys for locks on University "buildings are stored in a cabinet in this structure, and they would probably be lost in the event of a fire. The factory inspector for the State Department of Labor has requested, the fireproofing of the area used for the storage of flammable paint materials. The area used for the furniture repair shop is subject to all the fire hazards of the Paint Shop plus the added, hazards of the highly flammable asjd combustible nature of upholstering materials. 9, ITo shop space or headquarters are available for construction labor, cement finishers, or brickmason crews. 10. The space assigned to the machine shop docs not permit an orderly or safe operating arrangement of machines. As located, few of the machines permit the working of full length stocks of materials without overlapping adjacent machines. The lack of aisle space and the crowded arrangement of equipment represent a real hazard to employees from stumbling accidents in the handling of heavy materials and equipment. The electric and gas welding, and the forge equipment are all located in an unenclosed corner of the shop and this represents a real health hazard because of the lack of adequate ventilation for the removal of welding fumes or facilities to prevent eye injuries to other employees from high intensity arc flashes. Other employees and the public are subject to all the physical and health hazards the same as the machinists because this shop provides the ? only interior means of access between the garage and the store and tool room. 11. The Steam Distribution Shop is located in a partially excavated area of an academic building and is without direct truck access or direct ■ •. SQ ■ i Part II, page # 87 m facilities for handling heavy valves, expansion joints, and other equipment that must be frequently taken in for repairs and overhauling. The shop has a dirt floor, the entrance door has a clear head room of only 5'3\ and the clear- ance under the "beams in the shop area is only five feet. •The shop is without means of natural lighting; there are no provisions for ventilation; the artificial lighting is inadequate and creates a definite eye hazard because of the low ceiling. There are no conveniences for the work- men and the area is unhealthy and violates all codes for human occupancy. The shop is located directly below the Engineering Library and creates an additional fire hazard to the valuable collection of books. Being so located, the shop is also a source of interference to the academic activities due to the necessary traffic, noise and dirt, 12. The administrative offices are crowded into an area approximately one-third of that which is necessary for the handling of the large volume of work assigned to the division. The only access to the offices for the general public, office staff, and employees who must consult with their supervisors frequently during the day, is by means of a single-width winding stair with limited head. room and is located approximately sixty feet from the entrance of the building. Many necessary items of work such as maintenance of records and ade- quate files, development of operation and maintenance programs, etc., cannot be conducted because of the lack of space and facilities to accommodate sufficient staff. 13. The present decentralization is conducive to a duplication of equipment, personnel, and records, prevents unified organization of control and the easy and prompt transmission of orders and subsequent check on execution *».. Part II, page $8 110 of allocated assignments. It is a major factor affecting the cost of maintenance and job order work because of (a) delays and misunderstandings in the transmis- sion of orders; (b) time lost in travel between various units; (c) time required for transmission and assembly of necessary supplies from scattered store-room areas; and (d) duplication of additional personnel for supervision and follow- up of work in process. It is also conducive to loafing, deferment of work and unauthorized side trips of employees for personal matters. g.

Basic Reason for Need : To provide adequate water supply for ex- isting and proposed new buildings, and for fire protection as recommended by the National Board of Fire Underwriters. C Location : The two new wells will be located north of the Old Gymnasium and Gymnasium Annex; the proposed water storage basin will be located east of the. present storage basin; addition to the present Filtration Plant. d t Use ; No comment. • ■ e. Description of Pro.iect : Two new wells with minimum of 600 g.p.m. capacity; one 250,000 gallon clear water storage baeinj addition to Filtration Plamt to provide. pump room; complete study and investigation for source of new water supply. f. Justification : The National Board of Fire Underwriters in their report No. 295 dated May, 19^, recommended (a) two additional wells. or (b) one additional well and one 250,000 gallon clear water storage basin. Since the above survey and report was completed, several new buildings have been added on the Urbana campus, materially increasing the demand for water for domestic use and for reserve in the event of a major fire. The present building program contemplates the addition of a number of new buildings which would further increase the demand on the water system. It must be borne in mind that the proposed new wells and clear water storage basin are sufficient only to take care of the immediate projected build- ing program. This project also includes the engineering, service necessary for. study and investigation of future source of water supply. G ' i 01 Part II, page i 104 -1H The present source of supply appears to be relatively meager from the standpoint of probable future withdrawal. Twenty years ago, the combined punp= age by the University and the two adjoining cities was of the order of 3.500,000 gallons per day* Frior to World War No. II, it had reached approximately k 9 500,000 gallons per day and has remained at that level up to the present time. Under the influence of this pumpage rate, the water level in the present field appears to have receded 13 feet during the period 1935 to 191*3. Continuation of the receding water level in the present field makes investigation of a new source of supply for future use imperative. The construction of a new pump room for the Filtration Plant is neces= sary to relocate the low and high lift pumps where they will be under constant supervision of the Water Station operators. At the present time, the high and low lift pumps are located in a pump pit in the basement of the engine-room of the Old Power Plant and are operating without close supervision. The main pipe connections between the Filtration Plant and the high and low lift pumps pass through a tunnel and the basement of the old boiler room, and are subject to deterioration. As located it is practically impossible to ascertain the es> tent of the present deterioration or to repair pipes in case of failure. A mechanical or electrical failure in the pump motors or pipe system would inter- rupt water supply. g. Relation to Other Projects : Although the improvements are needed without the addition of new buildings, additional water supply capacity is in- cluded for the new buildings proposed. h t Priority ; Preferred. i f Biennium : To be distributed over first and. second bienniums. j.

Bell telephone branch exchange installed to centralize all Bell tele- phone service through one switchboard. f. Justification : The existing 600 line automatic intercommunicating exchange is operating at 97 per cent of the maximum available capacity with no margin for normal load growth, no spare circuits for exchange outage or spares for projected now buildings. The line finding and trunk equipment is operating at 200 per cent rated capacity resulting in lost calls, excessive wear and sub- sequent increased outages for service. An additional 100 pair main trunk cable is to be installed to provide safe margin for normal operation and to provide service for new buildings re= quested in this program. Existing telephone service is now provided through 525 direct Bell Telephones to the local city exchange. As a result, each station is listed in the local directory, and it is. therefore, extremely difficult for the public m Fart II, page 108 lift to reach members of the University staff on the campus. 'Jhis is particularly true on long distance calls where the party is not acquainted with the local communication system and does not have the local telephone number. In addition, members of the University staff or strangers can make long distance calls with«= out proper authority and unauthorized expenditures may, therefore, be made.

All of these students mak. tt* of the athletic facilities provided. Because of the inadequacies in present facilities, the most urgently needed structure for the activities indicated above is *-new Health and Physical Education Building. Early studies have provided seating facilities for lU.000 to 16,000 persons with a cantilever type roof, completely eliminating undesir- able exposed supports. The building should provide needed space for all intra- dural sports in the form of office space, game rooms, locker roo^s, etc. Plans in connection with this building should also provide for an improvement of •■••■••:■■■ i'Vt rJC- ■' '•'•■' v ■"■■■■■'■■'■:■'■■■''•'■ ■ ■.:■;■'■■' • .\y.y. . • ■ mm HI Si mi Wm dsr i>u Part II, page 114 u* swimming pool facilities. Ihe present pool has no provision for high, diving. The pool, with a seating capacity of 1,000, should "be designed with adequate dressing rooms and lockers, particularly from the standpoint of sanitation and convenience. The construction of such a "building will permit the consolidation of most of the activities of the Athletic Association under one roof, include ing the coaching and administrative staff, the intramural department, the ticket office and the store rooms, thereby contributing to closer contact and, consequently, better operating conditions. The Association has been repeatedly advised by the auditors that better physical arrangements are necessary for the proper distribution and control of tickets and athletic activity coupon books. Such changes are not physically possible at the present time in exist- ing University buildings. Bnphasis should also be placed on the construction of well~lighted and well-ventilated courts for handball, badminton, and squash. While it is true that some courts are available in the Huff Gymnasium, all efforts at cor=» rectly ventilating them have been unsuccessful, and their efficient utilization reduced accordingly and demands triple the facilities available. The use of this building would not be confined to athletics and sports entirely. The need for a center to be used for large convocations has long been felt. At the level of enrollment prior to the outbreak of tho war, it . was impossible to issue more than three tickets to candidates for graduation. Such large functions as Farm and Home Week, the Farm gports Festival, the A13*= State Chorus and All-State Orchestra performance held in conduction with the Annual Teachers* Conference, certain numbers on the Star Course program, the High School Basketball Tournament, and a general convocation of all University students, are not possible in their entirety at the present time because of limited seating capacity. 4**1 I Part II, page 115 127 One of the greatest needs for such a building is that of the Illinois State High School Basketball Tournament which has been held annually in Huff Gymnasium during the month of March. It has been the experience of the Ticket Office of the Athletic Association that the seats for this one function alone, which is a source of good public contacts, could have been sold in numbers three or four times that now possible. It has been the policy in the past few years to discourage the general public, even to the extent of giving preference to students in the competing schools and the coaches and principals throughout the State. Indiana has conducted such a tournament annually in the Butler Field House in Indianapolis for the past several years, with an attendance of twenty thousand, and with this capacity has been unable to meet the demand of the general public. Because many of these who attend are potential students for the University, and because we are concerned with developing and maintain- ing a strong program of health education, physical education and athletics in the High Schools of the State, we feel that it is desirable to satisfy the demands of as large. a number as possible and to retain this annual sports event at the University, Under present conditions, it is not possible to follow the plan that many of the other Western Conference Schools follow, in issuing an Activity book to each student. With the present seating capacity of Huff Gymnasium, it is impossible to provide seats for the student body, the staff of the Uni~ versity, or the general public for our home basketball games. Such conditions are not comparable to other institutions of the enrollment or standing of the University of Illinois, The Board of Directors of the Athletic Association expects to con« tinue the policy of turning surplus funds back into facilities for the stu- dents, whenever circumstances permit a return to normal operation. iu Part II, page 116 i* g f Relation to Other Projects : None. h, Priority ? preferred. i» Biemrum : Pirst, 3. derating CosU $112,500 per year for operation and rcaintenance. M -Li PAHP III THE CHICAGO CAMPUS SECTION A m GENERAL DISCUSSION ■»* .' 129 PART III. THE CHICAGO CAMPUS SECTION A. GENERAL DISCUSSION 1. Introduction .— The College of Dentistry, Medicine, and Pharmacy of the University of Illinois are located near the Cook County Hospital in the West Side Medical Center District of Chicago. The campus proper covers 10 acres within the city "block "bounded by Polk Street on the north, Taylor Street on the south, Wood Street on the east, and Wolcott Street on the west. An additional acre near by is occupied by the Chicago Illini Union. The enrollment in the Chicago Colleges for the year 1939- Ho was 1,280 students; I9H1J+2, 1,3^3 students; and the Spring of 19^. 1,007 students. In 1939-Uo there were 102 women included in the total; in 19H1-M-2 there were 87 women; and in the Spring of 19^ there were 69 women. The Chicago Colleges of the University of Illinois are situated in the urhan industrial center of Chicago and Cook County with a population of nearly four million. Its colleges and hospitals draw students and patients from all over the state. As a relatively young medical center of the country, it is experiencing a steady growth in its activities and influence. It compares favorably in many respects with older medical centers elsewhere. Its growth, however, has been uneven and has resulted in some disproportion in emphasis on various special fields of medicine both in terms of Physical Plant and depart- mental support and activity. The proposed post-war program is designed to . bring the whole program into effective "balance educationally and physically. Undoubtedly the University has the opportunity to develop a leading medical center of the Middle West and perhaps of the country. The proposed post-war building program is designed to accomplish this hroad objective in an orderly way. 2. Present PI ant . —At the present time, the University has 6 major "buildings on the Chicago campus representing a total cost of $7»3 1+ 5.000 and **? ■ • ' : Part III, page*.tf fat containing a total of 6H6.100 square feet of floor area. The oldest was built in 1925 and the newest in 1937. The total cost of land owned at this time by the University of Illinois is $572,000. In addition to these buildings owned by the University, the State Department of Public Welfare has 2 major buildings, completed in 1930 and 1939 1 costing a total of $l,6gH,000 and containing a total of 1 6^,000 square feet of floor area. These give a total for the Chicago campus of 3 major buildings costing $9,029,000 and containing 810,700 square feet of floor area. It should be noted that only the Dental, Medical, and Pharmacy Build- ing represents a facility which was constructed by the University for the pur- pose it now serves and is being used substantially as originally built. The Chicago Illini Union was formerly the Pharmacy Building and was remodeled in I9U1 for its present purpose. The remaining buildings were constructed by the . Department of Public Welfare and were subsequently transferred to the University* The Illinois Neuropsychiatric Institute and the Institute for Juvenile Research occupy important positions. on the Chicago campus but are still owned by the Department of Public Welfare. The University controls the teaching. and research carried on in these institutes and maintains them on a cost basis, 3, Campus Develo-anont. —Two years ago last July the State Department of Public Welfare transferred to the University of Illinois all the buildings in the Research and Educational Hospitals except the Illinois Heuropsychiatric Institute and the Institute for Juvenile Research, In the intervening period, major changes in the University program have been brought about both by the war and by the requirements of normal growth. These changes have been reflected in the hospital remodeling program and in plans for post-war development. In this process the Building Committee of the «ftt .♦ •' - . Part Wj ?ag©- acres, including the University campus, has been designated the Illi- nois Medical Center. This area is to be available for expansion of the four agencies mentioned. The University expects to remain an active working unit within the group and all plans here proposed recognize the interests and needs of the other institutions. They are intended to accord with the ultimate development of the Illinois Medical Center. The Center, in turn, bears a similar relation to the larger Medical Center District. That District, 305 acres in size, bounded by Congress Street, Ashland Avenue, Roosevelt Road, and Oakley Boulevard, has been established by state law as an area for the development of medical services. The Medical Center Commission, acting under the law, is undertaking the large task of stimulating development plans in all interested institutions, leading towards an ultimate unified plan. .It has given its approval to the proposed plans for the Illinois Medical Center. Dr. R. B. Allen, Executive Dean of the Chicago Departments and Dean of the College of Medicine, is a member of the Commission, Also on the Commission are Dr. Walter H. Theobald,- a member of the College of Medicine staff, and Mr. George A. Barr, a former member of the Board of Trustees, i&Lt. .':: ■ , ;» ' • ■ •...■: -v • E - ..v.' . ... ■. . i - .•>••■. .il; : . : ■..:•:• :■: ■ ■ ,' - ■ . ■ , •' : ■ ' ■ ■ '■■''■ ■ ■ ' .-,-"-■; .'■■•■.'.- I ..

The Illinois Medical Center constitutes one of these: The Cook County Hospital group with an assigned expansion area of approximately 35 acres constitutes another; and still other medical groups are expected to develop in the area west of Damen Avenue. It is hoped that these will include a Veterans' Health Center, other Government hospitals, other medical schools, and private hospitals such as a children?' hospital, a lying-in hospital, an isolation unit, and a convalescent hospital. The eventual plan is for a District which will provide a well-balanced group of medical service and teaching institutions. By virtue of its forward-looking educational program, the University of Illinois occupies a leading position in the District. In that position, it has the opportunity of setting an outstanding example of progressive development. The final success of the Medical Center District program will depend in. great part upon developments realized by the institutions already established. Ener- getic leadership by the University will point the way to even more far-reaching results than the full achievement of its own program will represent. We believe such leadership can be demonstrated by carrying out the expansion here proposed. K Colleges and School s. —Listed in the accompanying table are the several departments of the three colleges which indicate the major divisions according to specialties in which undergraduate and graduate teaching activities are conducted: .

Educational Obiectives. ~The educational objectives of the Colleges of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmacy are to provide fully adequate opportunities for the study of medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, nursing, and all necessary sub-professional technical subjects such as occupational therapy, physical medicine, clinical laboratory technology, and dental laboratory tech- nology (dental hygienists). The University recognizes that as a state insti- tution its educational programs in these professional fields are essential to help meet the great health needs of the state. Private universities in Illi- nois share in meeting this need, but the University has recognized that its responsibility is such that it must maintain a large program in the medical sciences. Evidence of this is the fact that the College of Medicine is the largest medical school in the country. The program in all three colleges meets minimum educational require- ments and in some areas is highly distinguished. In certain departments, how- ever, there are relative deficiencies. The principal objective in the immediate post-war period is to make a significant improvement in those departments and most importantly to bring the entire educational and research program into balance, eliminating existing relative over-emphasis on certain. clinical specialties which are primarily concerned with graduate studies. The depart- ments which need immediate expansion are Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Pediatrics, all of which are essential to any well-conceived program of undergraduate medical education. An important example of a continuing effort to improve existing educa- tional opportunities is illustrated by the proposed Library-Museum portion of the Visual Education project which contemplates significant improvement in visual technics as applied to the medical sciences.

Very little has been undertaken in the short-course post-graduate, education for professional health personnel in cooperation with affiliated hospitals such as Presbyterian and Cook County and with professional societies and State Departments of Public Health and Public Welfare. Chicago has the opportunity to realize some of its great potentialities as a national teaching center in this program. A related objective is to develop a program in the field of public health administration which will provide opportunities for graduate training of community health officers. This program is to be coordinated with the State De- partments of Public Health and Public Welfare and with professional societies. It has a major objective, the study of the over-all health needs of the State of Illinois. Information so gained will be of value in the teaching of preven- tive medicine and the . sociology and economics of medical care for undergraduate EVfid graduate students. It will be. of further value in personnel guidance and placement of graduates in practice. Importantly it will help to provide a con- tinuing survey of the health needs of the people which will automatically co- ordinate the educational and service functions of professional societies and the State Departments of Health and Welfare with the program of the University of Illinois. An important integrating function and objective of the University 1 s program in medical science is that of research. Progress in medical science is rapid and accelerating. The University of Illinois has a fine record of achieve- ment and it is a major objective to mobilize increasing support for this vital phase of the entire program. Increasingly medical research involves cooperation among several specialists and departments. An example of this is the University's 0> 1 J, •. r ■ '.'.' ■ .! .,•;.■ •- ■..■;. •■'-- i ■ . .

Predicted Enrollment . —Under paragraph 6 appear enrollment figures for the Chicago Colleges of Dentistry, Medicine, . and Pharmacy, and the Graduate School from 1935 to the Spring of 19** inclusive. This table indicates that from 1935 with a total of 1,08* students to 19*1, a gradual but somewhat uneven increase occurred to a total of 1,3*3. This total by colleges in 19*l-*2 shows an enrollment of 229 students for Dentistry, 617 for Medicine, and 22* for Pharmacy. The College of Medicine is the largest medical school in the country. During the war years, to the present time, a slight increase has occurred in the enrollment of the Colleges of Dentistry and Medicine to the totals of 236 and . 681 respectively, representing the maximum possible enrollment in each college. At present these two colleges have Army and Navy training programs which largely sustain their enrollment.

The drop has teen from a total of 30^ in I9U1 to 5H in the Spring of 1$&. Enrollment in the Graduate Schccl has also dropped sharply from the maximum of 235 !■ 1S35 to 39 at present, The total en- rollment for the Chicago Colleges in the Spring of lfVl is 1,007. Ever, with these reductions, the College of Medicine remains the largest medical schccl in the country. The predicted enrollment after the war for the College of Medicine is 650; Dentistry, 250; Pharmacy, 2?C, Worses, I5O5 and graduate and post-graduate, 200; giving a total of 1,500, if not restricted to 1200 as at present. The enrollment in the undergraduate programs in the College of Medicine, Dentistry, and Pharmacy is limited by the teaching capacity of the laboratories and the figures cited represent the maximum lead. It vrill he possible to increase the graduate teaching program above the predicted enrollment as the demand re- quires. The figure of 1,900 given is a predicted iKJfHil enrollment in 1950, g. S§2 Floor Area l.eeded .— ITo request is being made for additional floor area to carry the laboratory and classroom teaching load except in relation to the Library-Museum-Auditorium project which is discussed in detail in Section B of Part III. The greatest expansion in floor area is required in the Research and Educational Hospital Additions project. This project is designed to increase the hospital bed services and outpatient service in certain areas which are ana inadequately served to meet minimum standards for clinical instruction in the . fields of Internal Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Pediatrics. This does not involve new programs; it is simply a project which will bring the University's General Hospital up to minim-am standards for medical education in the clinical fields. The Library-Maseum-Auditoriun project is designed to meet the expanding needs of the ^oine Library which has already outgrown its present capacity and to develop a correlated program of Visual Education. «&4 r • Part III, page 12 140 9. posts Per Square Foot of Floor Area.— The projects proposed in- elude additions to the General Hospital, Atmospheric Research Equipment, a Library-Museum, a Power Plant and Land Acquisition.

It is important to note that the program should "be con- sidered as a whole rather than as made up of several independent projects. «• 11. Remodeling and Modernization .— No separate project for remodeling and modernization has been included on the list. During the last 20 years there has been continued depreciation of the Chicago buildings as well as the usual obsolescence. TOien the University assumed operation of the General Hospital, it was determined that extensive replacement of mechanical services would be necessary to permit future operation of the building. Provision for a portion of this has been made in Project 1» Additions to the General Hospital. 12. Utilities and Distribution Systems .~» The present power plant, built in 1925 and extended in 1937 and 19M1, provides steam for the present aca- demic building and for the Research and Educational Hospitals. It is obvious that increase in size of the buildings in the Illinois Medical Center will at some point require an increase in power plant facilities. Consideration has been given to the possibility of improving and ex- panding the present power plant. The size and condition of this plant are such that additions and improvements would be difficult to make without loss of ef- ficiency in layout and operation. Its location relative to the future develop- ment of the Illinois Medical Center also discourages development of the present it building. Calculations show that the proposed hospital additions can be carried with the present plant provided new auxilary services are installed. If any other building project is undertaken, a new power plant will be needed. The anticipated increase of load on the power plant is indicated by the list of proposed and existing buildings on the following page. The increase of cubical contents will result in raising the demand for electricity by' 250$ and for steam, by 170$. it Part III," page 14 PROPOSED AND EXISTING BUILDINGS ILLINOIS MEDICAL CENTER — — — - Cubical , Contents Proposed Postwar Buildings cubic ft. _ University of Illinois Buildings Additions to General Hospital 3,800,000 Visual Education Building ^.WO.OOO Student Residence Halls, 1st Unit 1,^)0, OOU Sub-total 7.^.000 'Buildings of others Illinois Eye & Ear Infirmary , 1,8 2?*n™ Acute mental hospital • It "375*000 Sub-total .... . 7.175.000 Sub-total Post War lU, 615,000* Add gristl y Buildings to be Served by_ F ixture Power Plant R21.000 Chicago Illini Union . . . . • - S80.000 Department of Public Health — ^-« . 1,101,000 Subtotal ' •Ruildin gs on pr esent Plant . . 5,39i.ooo IMP Building. . . . . • • • * • • • "• 2.491,000 General Hospital & Dining Room 7kg 000 Illinois Surgical Institute . . • 215*,000 Nurses Home * Illinois Hfeuropsychiatric Institute. . . . ., ^S?* ^ Institute for Juvenile Research i ws^uy .

Estimated cost of the entire project is $1,860,000. 13. Campus Impr vement s .— Impr ve ment s of the present campus and development of new land being acquired call for landscaping work, construction of sidewalks and curbs and installation of general lighting. projects 1, 3, and k will include landscaping the grounds immediately surrounding the buildings but no project has been included to extend the campus development of sidewalks, drives and landscaping into those areas where build- ing projects are not immediately contemplated. lh. Land Acquisition. —Land to be acquired falls into three general categories; first, land which is needed to carry out the building program pro- posed for the immediate post-war period; second, land to be acquired to permit completion of the total building expansion program; and third, land in the marginal districts to the east and south, the improvement of which will greatly affect the University's holdings but on which it is not expected to construct institutional buildings. The item of $750,000 included in this report is for land in the first and second categories. Maps following page lUU indicate the extent of land owned at present and proposed for acquisition under these three cate- gories* c» % __ 31 r-c-z :i ■ •'■■ : « TV ^r Part III, page 16 144 Because of the tine required to assemble large parcels of land needed for institutional buildings in sections where the present ownership is divided among a great many different individuals, it is important to begin land acquisi- tion at least 5 years ahead of the date on which building construction is to start. It is also desirable to purchase land through direct negotiations with the present owners, reserving for exceptional cases the application of eminent domain, Tflhether the procedure is through direct purchase or condemnation, the avoidance of excessive costs or lengthy litigation nay require several years. Ofce extension of University land acquisition into the marginal area referred to becomes necessary to protect the University* s large investment now existing and being proposed within the core area designated the Illinois Medical Center. It is proposed that vacant land and depreciated properties be acquired in the marginal area to prevent their development by other agencies and that they bo held by the University until development of the Medical Center District, as a *hole. and land assembly in particular have reached tbe point where other agencies are ready to build approved housing. It is certain that the improvement of the Illinois Medical Center will result in increased values in the marginal area and that the University by thus controlling the land most desirable for develop- ment, will protect itself against projects in the marginal area which might not be favorable to the proposed campus development. By the same token, the Univer- sity will be able to trade or sell such properties when the time for development arrives* In this way the university will not only advance its own interests but also take a leading part in improving a major section of the Medical Center District. tti J I • .

Basic reason for need: Inadequate provision of teaching beds and obsolescence of present building. Project adds 300 beds. 0, Location : On the present campus, west side of Wood Street, south of the Dental, Medical and Pharmacy Building and north of the Illinois Neuro- psychiatric Institute. d. Use: General Hospital used for clinical teaching and research. e. Description of project: Kind - The addition of a major building to the present General Hospital and the complete modernization of the present hospital building. Construction - Reinforced concrete frame. Brick exterior. Sanitary finishes in interior. f. Justification : The justification for the hospital additions rests chiefly upon the fact that present clinical teaching facilities are inadequate for the large student body which the University now has in the College. of Medicine, Statistical justification of this conclusion appears herein. Certain features of student enrollment do have a bearing on the need for hospital additions. At the present time the Colleges of Medicine and Den. istry have a capacity enrollment and would therefore be -unable to accommodate an increased student body after the war. The College of Pharmacy now has ap- proximately one-third the students it can accommodate and will, therefore, be capable of absorbing the remaining two-thirds after the war. Since the College of Medicine is already the largest in the United States, it is our judgment that no great increase in student enrollment should be anticipated or provided for by the University of Illinois, at least until adequate clinical hospital, teaching facilities have been provided for the pre- sent teaching requirements. *r~ li i »■ ■ Part III» page 18 148 There will be an increase in the total enrollment on the Chicago campus due to the inauguration of a program in nursing education, programs in certain sub-professional technological fields, and an increase in the enrollment in grad- uate and postgraduate courses. However, the proposed building program is not justified on the basis of enrollments. She hospital additions are proposed pri~ marily to improve the general services of Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Pediatrics. It is recognized that the integrated teaching pre gram should be strong in these four basic departments. The present assigment of hospital beds leaves a relative deficiency for these general services and gives a disproportionate allotment to certain specialties. Correcting this discrepancy will give a curriculum more nearly in balance and strengthen the basic integrated teaching facilities. The present General Hospital, built in 1923 with six stories and base- ment, has a gross floor area of 191,000 square feet and a net useable floor area of 160,900 square feet, The building is reinforced concrete frame, fire- proof construction. In the twenty years of its life it ha* experienced the max- imum of depreciation as well as functional obsolescence. The program contem- plates modernization of the greater portion of the present space as well as the addition of new space. Special emphasis should be placed on the depreciation of the mechanical services. The condition of the piping and electrical wiring is such that practical replacement of piping, conduit, duct work, valves, pumps, . fans, cut-out boxes, and all such related items will be necessary to permit the present building to continue as a functioning hospital and to bring its services up to date. Such a program of modernization is essential even without the ad~ dition of new space. The present hospital provides 240 hospital beds. This, when added to the beds available in other University-controlled hospitals and institutes, gives 6il . ■' ' ', ' "■ ■ - . . Part III, page 1.9 a total. of 5 67 hospital beds, of 1.6. for each third~and-f ourth-year medical student. This figure is below the average of 2.0 for the lowest ten medical schools listed in tie American Medical.Association report titled "Medical Educ*=> tion in the United States, 193^1939*. «*» added to the 3.9 beds per student available to the University for teaching in the affiliated hospitals, Cook County and Presbyterian, this figure gives a total of 5.5 *hich is still below the aver- age of all schools covered in. this report. She average of the ten highest school 6 listed in the report was 10.3, This proposal increases the University's ratio to b. The shortage of clinical teaching. facilities is in a measure a reflec- tion of the general conditions in this area. The total of hospital beds avails able in the several general public hospitals under Cook County administration is 3, H00. Hew York City with a population approximately twice that of Cook County has a total of 11,000 publie hospital beds. By comparison, Cook County should have 5,500 such beds instead of the 3,^0 existing. irom these statistics it can be seen that the clinical teaching facilities at the present time are well below standard. g. Relation to other projects: The project is independent of other projects listed in the sense that it does not depend upon those projects for its execution. It has an indirect relation to the Visual Education building in that the clinical teaching to be carried on in the proposed additions will avail it- self of the advanced technics of visual education which are expected to be de- veloped. It also relates to the power plant in that the completion of the pro- posed hospital addition will tax the present power generating facilities to their limit and will require installation i new controls and auxiliary services. It has no direct relation to the land acquisition program since it will be built on land already owned. h» Priority : Preferred. 3. >„»f* ■ • _. ■ . ,. - - > - • ■!?.' ■ ■.: . ■ .

The present program is only a beginning. The research experiments are now housed in a section of the General Hospital, occupying approximately H.500 square feet. A portion of this space has been equipped with equipment for special atmospheric control needed for the research. An attempt to develop further research projects within the present hospital building would result in a conflict between the research and hospital functions. It has also been necessary to encroach upon the meohanical service . space of the hospital to provide equipment required by the experiment.

Page 22 152 expansion of the mechanical units would also be difficult* Space limitations make imperative plans for housing Atmospheric Environmental Research in a separate space. It is anticipated that the development of air transportation in the post-war period will call for continued Atmospheric Environmental Research of the type already undertaken and extension of the program to other related fields. The overall University program of teaching and research phases of aviation medicine and related subjects is being conducte-d on the Chicago Campus. This work will» however, be closely correlated with the other experimental aviation programs to b» carried out in Urbana. Some of the work being done in Chicago will involve engineering research as well as medical research, on which correlation of the work will be essential. It is proposed that special research projects be housed in a separate space as closely connected to the General Hospital as may be possible. Special provision is to be made for control of temperature, pressure, air movement, humidity, air cleanliness, and probably other factors which will appaar as the research progresses, provision for special space for Atmospheric Environmental Research will free the section of the hospital now devoted to that project. The plans for the hospital additions presume that this space will be available for hospital use. :■;■■, $61 Part Hit page 23 M The proposed plan locates Atmospheric Environmental Research so that expansion which may become necessary in the future will be possible. It is esti* mated that the proposed accommodations will serve the probable requirements for a period of thirty ye?rs. g. Relation to other projects; The Atmospheric Research project as proposed covers equipment only and its completion at the figure quoted is con~ tingent upon space being available in the additions to the General Hospital. Such space has been planned for and will be available if the additions are built.

Cost : Buildings $817,200; Equipment $1,0^1,200; Land $2^1, 400; Total $2,101,400. b. Basic Reason for Need : Supply steam, electricity, gas, water, and air for proposed new buildings, and existing buildings. See Schedule on page 142. c. Location : Southeast corner of Taylor and Hermitage Streets on land to be acquired. d. Use : Power generation and distribution. e. Description of Project: Kind » New construction. Construction » Reinforced concrete frame, steel frame, brick exterior, f. Justification : The present plant is approximately 20 years old with the exception of the addition of two boilers, one installed in 1937 f ttie second in 19,41. No changes have been made or additions for feed water treatment or the handling of ashes and fly~ash and the coal bunker is of insufficient capacity for adequate supply of coal. The feed water pumps were designed to take care of the two original chain link stokers. The power 'plant is located in the approximate center of the area and any coal storage on the ground will add to the cost of keeping the buildings clean. The problem of dirt in the buildings from the power plant will always exist if it remains in the present location. The proposed location is at the southeast corner of the area taking advantage of the prevailing southwest winds. In the new plant all modern means of dirt abatement will be incorporated. The present plant with the limit, ing factor of the auxiliary equipment is near capacity. This plant at present is serving approximately eleven million cubic feet of building. It is content rlated adding approximately 1,100,000 cubic feet of existing building and the proposed post»war building program contemplates the addition of another . 3 * • Part III, page , 26 156 lU, 615,000 cubic feet. This means a proposed increase during the post-war building period of approximately 130 per cent. This increase of 130 per cent is divided approximately 65 per cent for University of Illinois post-war build- ings and 65 per cent for the Department of Public Welfare buildings. The services of the old plant are divided between the two, approximately 20 per cent Department of Public Welfare and 80 per cent University of Illinois. The services of the new plant will be divided approximately 35 per cent Department of public Welfare and 65 per cent University of Illinois. In order to take care of the anticipated 130 per cent increase in load and to generate a portion of our electricity, it is quite evident that a new power plant will be required before the building program has been completed. In this program is contemplated the replacement of the present steam distribu^ tion system and complete relocation of the primary electrical load centers and replacement of electrical distribution system to the secondary load centers in the buildings. The present steam distribution system might be likened to a tree. The trunk of the tree, or the main steam supply running through a pedestrian tunnel, branching off to the various buildings. It is evident that mechanical failure in the main steam line would result in closing the buildings. In a school building or office building, the people can leave. However, in a hospital the patients cannot be readily moved and this would be a major catas- trophy during cold weather. In the new distribution system it is intended to place a loop around the present hospital area. That would be from Taylor Street north on Wood Street to Polk Street, west to Wolcott, south on Wolcott to Taylor, and Taylor back to Wood Street completing the loop. This loop would be so valved that in case of failure in any section, that section could.be valved off and the buildings fed from the other direction of the loop. -6 * a .■ Part III, page *v 7 157 This same condition is more or less true in our present electrical distribution. This will be corrected in the contemplated new electrical dis» tribution, all of which will be controlled from the power plant. In conclusion, the present plant is outmoded and requires complete rehabilitation. A load increase of approximately 130% is contemplated during the post-war period. With this increased load it is feasible to generate elec- tricity resulting in a reduction of steam and electrical costs. The present steam distribution system does not provide sufficient flexibility to allow for safe operation of the hospitals. The electrical distribution, likewise, is to be designed to give additional safety in the hospital. The University has em= ployed Sargent & Lundy, a firm of mechanical engineers, who will furnish de=> tailed justification with supporting data. g. Relation to Other Projects : power Plant and Utilities becomes necessary as soon as buildings other than the additions to the General Hospital are contemplated. This project is designed to service buildings of the State Department of public Welfare, the State Department of Public Health and the Presbyterian Hospital in addition to the buildings of the University of Illinois. The probability that some or all of the buildings contemplated by these other agencies will be built by 1950 is great enough to justify giving the power plant priority position nunber k. h. pr iority : Preferred. i. Biennium : See "Construction Schedule" Part III, Section A, page 12, j. Operating Budget : The power plant will be established on a re^ volving account so that all operating costs will be charged to various buildings on a prorate basis. These costs have been included in the estimated increased in operating budgets for the projects listed and are not, therefore, repeated under this project. ■ • . I ': ' . . - ..:•<•;• .

Location : Southwest corner Polk and Wolcott Streets. « d. Use : Library-Museuok Auditorium to be built later. e. Description of Project; ■ Kind ~ New Construction. Construction « Reinforced concrete frame, brick exterior. f. Justification : The present library contains 80,000 volumes and occupies 17,500 square feet of floor area. This area is located at one point on the basement and first floors of the Dental, Medical, and Pharmacy Building. It serves a total reading group of approximately 2,000, including 1,200 students and 800 staff members. The central location of the library represents a real advantage. Limi* tations of construction and function prevent adequate expansion of the library service within the present building. The exjpaaeion which has been witnessed through the past ten years has already resulted in a spreading of the library service which not only causes inefficient library operation but represents an encroachment upon the space designed for other use. An actual physical limita- tion was reached in I9H0 beyond which expansion in the present space is impose sible. The University possesses a considerable volume of display material which cannot well be combined with the library material. This is in the form of drawings, models, wet sections, microscopic sections, photographs and micros films. At the present time, it is displayed at two rooms in the D.M.P. Building Jg ■ . •■■ Part III, page 29 and installed in a few corridor display cases. Material is also being used in certain hospital units including obstetrics in which the cabinet displays are simply placed in the hospital corridors. This gives the desired closeness to the clinical teaching material but produces an undesirable physical condition since the corridors were not designed for this use. A liberal estimate of the oresent floor space devoted to museum use is U,300 square feet.. It is proposed that the museums now existing be continued at least until it has been demonstrated that they no longer serve a useful purpose and that the new Visual Education Building be designed to take cere of a very much greater number of exhibits which the University possesses or which are available to the University but for which no display space now exists. Housing the ex- hibits in the Visual Education Building will free a certain amount of storage space in the. present buildings and it may eventually release some of the present museum space. The University now possesses six lecture rooms with a total floor area of 10,200 square feet and a total number of 957 seats. Available in the Illinois Neuropsychiatric Institute and in the Institute for Juvenile Research are two additional lecture rooms with a total floor area of 2,H00 square feet and a total number of 175 seats. This gives a grand total for the Illinois Medical Center of 8 lecture rooms with a floor area of 12,600 square feet e&d 1,132 seats. Ttie largest of the lecture rooms is located in the D.M.P. Building and contains 390 seats. There is thus available no auditorium for such func- tion as Commencements and larger public meetings. The location of the lecture rooms within the school building makes them difficult of access for the public, especially at night, For that reason, the proposed building includes an audi- torium seating 1,500 which will be so located that public use, as well as :• . -■ ts Part III, page 30 160 University use, will be possible. It is probable that a lecture room seating 250 people will be specially equipped for the use of visual materials. These provisions will not replace any of the existing lecture rooms, but will permit, in the one case, the housing of large assemblies at the University instead of in Public Halls remote from the University lecture rooms. At no point in the Medical Center District is there an auditorium satisfactory for public meetings and for meetings of scientific and professional associations. Such an auditorium might well serve as a community assembly cen» ter for the entire Medical Center District as well as for the smaller group known as the Illinois Medical Center. Such service would be in adclition to the service it would render the Universityof Illinois teaching program which in itself is felt to justify the building. g.. Relation to other Projects: The Visual Education Building project is contingent upon erection of the power plant and procurement of a small amount of additional land. It is otherwise independent of other projects. The proposal for the post-war program includes only the library^museum portions of the Visual Education Building and is designed to permit erection of the aicW itorium portion at a later date. k«- Priority : preferred. *• Biennium: See "Construction Schedule" Fart III, Section A, page 12, j. Operating Budget: The estimated increase in operating budget to provide for the enlarged program and new services totals $1^3,000. This is made up of an increase of $18,000 in the library administration budget, $15,000 in the budget of illustration studios, $20,000 for new services not now rendered and $90,000 for building operation and maintenance.
