MINUTES OF THE MEETING
of the
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
December 16, 1965
Communication from Chancellor Varner:
In September of 1966 the resident feeding for our students
will be moved from the Oakland Center to the new dormitory.
This will mean that the current use of the Oakland, Center
will be substantially modified, and in view of this, we will
need to do some considerable remodeling. Before we get into
this and before we make any decisions,
we need to begin thinking about expanding this facility to
accommodate our rapidly growing enrollment. It is my guess
that within the next two years we will be faced with the necessity
of expanding the present student center and probably adding
about 60,000 additional square feet of floor space.
I am writing to recommend that we be authorized to appoint
the architectural firm of Swanson Associates in Bloomfield
Hills to begin studies for remodeling of the existing facilities
and the likely expansion of the building. They did the arrangement,
it would seem desirable to have them study its modification
and possible expansion. I must confess that we have at times
been less than completely satisfied with the work of this
firm, but I believe they are our best bet, particularly if
we emphasize the need for outside engineering consultation.
Any arrangements we make will be within the usual 5% fee
structure, and we will be back to you and the Board with detailed
plans before any commitment is worked out for spending money
for modifications.
On motion by Mr. Harlan, seconded by Mr. Huff, it was
voted to approve the above item.
Trustee Stevens raised a question with reference to use of
non-union print shops for printing material paid for by the
University.
After discussion, motion was made by Dr. Smith, seconded
by Mr. Huff, and voted that contract printing in the
future be awarded only to printing concerns that are qualified
to put the union label on the printed material.
