Project
AP018.S1.1977.PR09
Description:
This project series documents the long term planning for the Bank of Montreal Central Computer Complex Two in Scarborough, Ontario from 1977-1997. The office identified the project number as 7710. This master plan, spanning the length of 20 years, outlined 4 phases of construction for the complex. The plan called for the construction of three buildings starting in 1977, with the addition of more buildings on the site over the following two decades. The proposal showed that each new building was to be joined to existing buildings by tunnels at each level. However, only three buildings were ever constructed on this site. The project is recorded through textual records and drawings dating from 1977-1978. The textual records consist of meeting minutes, consultant correspondence and site reports.

AP154.S1.1967.PR02
Description:
Project series AP154.S1.1967.PR02, State University College at Potsdam, New York (1967), documents three executed projects for buildings at the State University College at Potsdam. The architect Edward Larrabee Barnes produced a master plan for the campus of the college starting in 1962.Later, the New York State University Construction Fund commissioned major Potsdam buildings from three young architects--Giovanni Pasanella, Joseph Merz and Richard Moger--who had worked on the Potsdam campus project while they were on staff at Barnes's office. The project series is divided into three subseries. One of the three subseries documents the project for the Science Building II by Merz and Pasanella. A second subseries is composed of drawings related to the conversion of a dormitory into classrooms, offices and a computer center. The third subseries contains drawings for the administration building designed by Giovanni Pasanella.
