Scope and Content
This project series documents the design and construction of the medical clinic building at the Etobicoke General Hospital site in Etobicoke, Ontario from 1974-1980. The office identified the project number as 7428.
At the same time that Parkin Architects Planners was constructing the Etobicoke General Hospital, they began working on this project, an adjacent medical clinic that would be attached to the hospital via tunnel. This project consisted of an 80 suite medical centre with a proposed space of 65,000 square feet including the building’s basement. The building shared architectural unity with the neighbouring hospital but was built at a distance in order to allow for future expansions of the hospital. In the project materials, the building is also referred to as the Professional Building. A prominent part of this project was design work for the radiology department in the clinic. It should be noted when viewing textual records and drawings in this project series that many are entitled Rexdale Radiological Services Limited. This project originally began under a different project number assigned by the office, but was built under this project number after the building's location was changed. This original project is also described in the fonds (see project series AP018.S1.1972.PR14).
The project is recorded through drawings, photographs and textual records dating from 1974-1980. A large part of the drawings show site plans, but elevations, sections, details and floor plans are also included. The photographs track the construction progress of the project. The textual records include correspondence, meeting minutes and reports, specifications, tender documents, change orders, supplementary instructions, design records, site reports and detail planning records. Box AP018.S1.1974.PR22.009 contains an index to the textual records, which was created by the office.
Materials in this project series have been compiled from different accessions and/or arranged by material type. Some textual records were arranged based on the original classification scheme created by the office.
