Project Description
The fa�ade, roof and windows of the School of Public Health and Psychiatric Institute (SPHPI - UIC
Building 975) have been identified as needing repairs and replacement in several building assessment

roof areas are original to the building causing significant leaks, and the fa�ade of the building is in need of general repair and tuckpointing. The purpose of this project is to implement as many of these improvements as can fit within the project budget. The Conceptualization Phase will determine the final scope of work and will confirm the construction budget for the project.
