Scope and Content

This project series documents the design and construction of printing facilities for the Edmonton Sun in Edmonton, Alberta in 1978. The office identified the project number as 7801.

The Edmonton Sun printing facility was commissioned by its parent company, The Toronto Sun Publishing Limited. This project consisted of a one-storey business process area connected to a three-storey service core. In the service core, the first level consisted of a truck dock, shipping and receiving, roll storage, ink room, washrooms, reel room and mail room. The second floor was designed for the press deck, a specialized area for actions relating to placing the plates on the printing press. The third floor was designated for mechanical services and bulk storage. This project also described future expansions of the facility to include more roll storage, more press lines, a larger mail room and connections to a future publishing office.

This project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1978-1979. All of the drawings are arranged within the textual materials and consist mostly of reprographic copies. The textual records include correspondence, conference reports, interoffice letters, specifications, the project proposal, and schedules.
