Historic Property Management Program

Objectives

To ensure that UIUC properly manages its historic resources, it is prudent to establish undertaking reporting procedures that allows UIUC property administrators, users, planners and associated personnel to take into account affects of their proposed actions on historic UIUC resources.

The objectives of this process are to:

1. Ensure that proper internal consultation/guidance is provided for UIUC personnel involved in the administration/physical management of historic resources.

2. Verify that the principles set forth in the UIUC Campus Historic Preservation Plan are adhered to.

3. Confirm that external regulatory requirements are being met.

Guideline: Undertakings that could directly or indirectly affect the physical integrity of UIUC owned, leased or otherwise managed properties are subject to review and comment.

Pertinent UIUC Historic Property Management Program Issues

Program Liaisons

Each University or Campus unit involved in undertakings that could affect UIUC historic resources shall appoint a liaison for administrative coordination of the UIUC Historic Property Management Program. Liaisons will coordinate with the Campus Historic Preservation Officer (CHPO). The CHPO acts as the UIUC internal historic preservation consultant for administrative and technical issues regarding compliance and program implementation. The CHPO will brief liaisons on their administrative responsibilities and provide periodic group/individual training for liaisons and pertinent unit personnel.

Identification of Historic UIUC Resources

Baseline historic UIUC resources are currently identified within the boundaries of a main campus, south farms, Willard Airport and Allerton Related Piatt County holdings. The properties identified within these areas possess an architectural, engineering or landscape historic context associated with the development of UIUC. A number of UIUC properties have undergone more in depth historic research. Expanded historic contexts related to these resources, such as academic accomplishment and administrative management, have been developed and taken into account during the evaluation process.

The historic significance and physical integrity of UIUC properties has been determined through the combination of opinions by the Chancellor's Design Advisory Committee Historic Sites Sub-committee in the 1980s and the application of the National Park Service's National Register of Historic Places Criteria for Evaluation. Historic significance of UIUC properties is determined by examination of associated historical contexts, i.e. administration, research, architecture and archaeology. Physical integrity is determined by evaluating exterior/interior features, as well as the setting, of the subject resources.

Guideline: All UIUC properties older than 50 years in age are potentially historic.

UIUC properties will be surveyed and evaluated at approximately 45 years in age to determine historic eligibility and facilitate capital planning efficiency.

Refer to the attached UIUC Property Maps for historic district boundaries and historic buildings/structures.
