The request was made because design work is near completion for the Heart and Lung Institute, but not as far along for the School of Architecture project. The school also wanted more time to raise additional funds. Because the university must pay debt service on the funds, even if unspent, there can be substantial penalty for not making prompt use of the money. The transfer will allow construction of the institute to begin at the site of Upham Hall on West 12th Avenue in the University Medical Center. The Architecture funds will be restored during the next biennium, without a break in planning, design or construction.
