Description
Illini Union, the Student Union building of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, “was dedicated on November 1, 1941 as the campus’s home for student organizations, meetings, and student programs and activities, replacing University Hall. It was constructed in cooperation with the University of Illinois Foundation, which secured funding for the construction through a $525,820 Public Works Administration grant and a $656,000 loan which was later repaid through student fees.” (Wikipedia)
