Green light for Music & Science buildingssignaled by Governor's release of funds

Long-awaited approval for Harperrs neededadditional instruction facilities has been grantedby the State of Illinois, it was announced onApril 26 by Dr. Robert E. Lahti, college presi-dent.

Upon recommendation of the Statets Constnrc-tion Review Task Force, Governor Richard B.Ogilvie gave the nod to Harper's Health-Science addition and Music Wing. The twobuildings total 50,322 square feet and arebudgeted to cost approximatelY $3,186,589.

The project is to be funded with 75 per centState monies a:ad 25 per cent local .funds fromHarper's site and constnrction fund.

Harperts Music Wing and Health-Science addi-tion originally received approval from theState legislature in 1970 for a $3,200,000 budget.Concurrent with approval of the Harper projectand others by the Illinois Jr.urior College Board(IJCB) later bhat sarne year, Governor Ogilvieimposed a I'freezen on all capital spending bythe State.

The differenee between the 1970 budgeted costfor the two college buildings and the $3,186,589approved by the Govenoor this week was the re-sult of cost-cutting agreements between Harperand the Constmction Review Task Force.tlBecause of escalation in construction costssince 1970, It says President Lahti, ttwhat we cutfrom this project isntt a matter o1 ghaight arith-metic. tt

Dr. Lahti estimates rfescalation" of from eightto 12 per cent applies to the projectts originalbudget. The cuts agreed upon amount to approxi-mately $130,000 at current cost levels and in-clude elimination of a watering system for aportion of Harperrs 200-acre campus and a re-duction of air conditioning capacity in the MusicWing.

I'Our architects planned the Music Wing airsenfitisning system to an extent which wouldpermit 'stubbing inr of future additions to thebuilding without additional msshanisal equip-ment. This capacity has been eliminated with-out affectrng the comfort level in &s fuildingitself, " Dr. La.hti orplains.

The Illinois Building Authority must now open theHarper prroject to bidding which college spokes-men hope will occur within the next severalweeks. The earliest awarding of the bid to ageneral contractor is seen as ynid-Juoe, withgroundbrealdng for the two buildings that samemontl.

Harper's architects, Caudill Rowlett Scott ofHoustOii, Tsxas, estimate a 15-month coustnrc-tion period. "Optimistically,'r says Dr. Lahti'I'wef re hoping to open the buildings for classesin the fall of 1973. "Approval for the two buildings followed, by amatter of weeks, an approval for Harper toconstnrct a maintenancs fuuildrng to be funded100 per cent from local funds. The 6,000square-foot urrit, designated building rrT't,

will be used as an interim classroom and labspace building next fall. Its cost will be$159,000.

Completion of the new educational stnrctureswill bring Harperrs carnprs to 4:13,556 squarefeet in nine separate modules, representing50.9 per cent of the college master plan.Itrarper's plaa was adopted in 1967, and the firstsix campus 6lilttings were opened in the fall of1969 for more than 3,673 FTE shrdents.FTE (full-time equivalent) shrdents are arrivedat by taking all sfrrdents enrolled in the college

ftotal head count) and dividing that figure by15 credit hours (the normal load of a fuIl-timestudent). Because the proportion of part-timestudents in a community college is high, FTE isthe enrollment figure used which is mostcomparable to head count at senior colleges,where nearly all enrollment is fuIl time.

Harperts fall 1971 FTE was 4,837 (head count9,473), a level originally projectei. !.or 1974.Updated Harper enrollment projections for1974 show ?,5?4 FTE students (a total headcount of 18, 025 enrollments).Soaring enrollments have put classroom andlab space at a premium. By next fall, 95 percent of all seats available within all classrooms,labs, a:rd lechrre halls will be utilized 90 percent of the time between 8 a. m. and 5 p. m.each weekday -- a^nd by fall, 1974, Harper?spresident says "it will be impossibleil to houseanticipated enrollments within existing facilities,including Building "T", plus the two structuresjust approved.

Completion of the Health-Science addition andthe Music Wing will still leave Harper some90,000 square feet short of needs. "State gurde-lines allow us 530,040 square feet for the 6,503FTE enrollment we have projected for 1973, 'tDr. La.hti points out. It is calculated that Harperwill need a:r additional quarter million sqparefeet of instructional space by 1975. Allowingtwo years for construction of such facilitiesmeans that the college will require State TaskForce approval again ln 1973.
