Undertaking Review Process

All university and campus entities conducting direct or indirect management, planning, construction or related functions that could affect the physical integrity of campus resources are subject to compliance in accordance with the requirements of the Illinois State Agency Historic Resources Preservation Act, the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 and other environmental legislation related to historic preservation. The concerned university and campus entities are also subject to the historic preservation principles set forth in the UIUC Campus Historic Preservation Plan adopted by the Chancellor's Capital Review Committee in 1995.

Guideline: Early coordination is essential to establish accurate project budgets and ensure historic building code requirements are met.

To facilitate UIUC compliance and adherence to the above listed legislation and document, the following process will be executed:

Notification

University and Campus personnel planning or initiating physical work on UIUC properties will notify the CHPO by email of the impending project. The attached undertaking Notification Form will provide basic information for CHPO review and comment.

CHPO Review and Comment

The CHPO will review the submitted documentation and notify the sender either:

  • The project meets preservation standards and may proceed

  • The project requires further consultation with the CHPO prior to proceeding

  • The project requires review and comment by Illinois State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO)

Guideline:  No undertaking may proceed, unless a declared emergency, until review and written comment
by the CHPO.

Consultation with the CHPO will identify the need for further documentation or surveys, standards and guidelines to be met and the extent of the external administrative process for the undertaking, if required.
