SCIENCE BUILDING BIDS

The Chancellor reported (1) that the architects will deliver the plans and
specifications for the new science building some time during May, (2) that
preliminary estimates place the probable cost of this building at approximately
$900,000, exceeding by $175,000 the available appropriated funds of $725,000, and
(3) that the science faculties are opposed to a reduction of facilities in the
building to cover this difference

It was resolved by the Board, after discussion that the specifications be
put out promptly for bids, and that the Board be informed thereafter if the bids
indicate the necessity of a supplemental budget request.
