Description:
This project series documents a parking structure designed for an office complex located at 1500 Don Mills Road in North York, Ontario from 1980-1982. The office identified the project number as 8001. The project consisted of a ten-storey parking garage that could fit 1,997 vehicles. In 1976, Parkin Architects Planners began work on two phases of development for a property located at 1500 Don Mills for their client Marathon Realty. Phase I consisted of an office building. The parking structure, was planned for Phase II, along with a second office building. It is not clear from the materials in this project series whether the structure was ever built. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1980-1982. The drawings include site plans, typical level plans, and studies. The textual records include a project proposal, correspondence, financial records, and a conference report.

Description:
This project series documents studies for the medical clinic building at the Etobicoke General Hospital site in Etobicoke, Ontario from 1972-1973. The office identified the project number as 7219. 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 proposed an 80 suite medical centre to be built to the south-west of the hospital. However, eventually the location of the building was moved and the project was given a new project number by the office. The building was eventually constructed under the new project number which is also documented in this fonds (see project series AP018.S1.1974.PR22 for these records). The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1972-1973. The majority of drawings are reprographic copies that show site plans, parking studies, floor plans and elevations. Textual records include questionnaires administered to the tenants (doctors and medical departments) regarding their unique office needs.
