University of Virginia Library

HOSPITAL BIDS APPROVED

President Darden reported on the large number of bids received for the new
hospital construction work, the closeness of the bidding, and the University's good
fortune in getting the primary construction done at a rate of approximately $1.60
a foot, this being substantially below the best estimated figure.

The Board resolved that the President be authorized to accept the low bids, as
approved and recommended by the Bureau of the Budget in Richmond, and to proceed
with the construction of the building.
