University of Illinois mulls how to update historic facility

June 14, 2010
Altgeld Hall on Urbana campus is more than 110 years old

From The Champaign News-Gazette: Altgeld Hall's rough-hewn Romanesque architecture has always stood out in a sea of green-roofed Georgian buildings on the University of Illinois campus. As the oldest Urbana campus building that remains heavily used, it could use updating. That's what the university will have to decide in the next year. A $250,000 feasibility study is looking at how much the building can be restored to its 1896 glory.
