Project
AP018.S1.1974.PR02
Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of the University of Ottawa Health Sciences Building in Ottawa, Ontario from 1974-1984. The office identified the project number as 7402. The Ottawa Heath Sciences Complex, a vast hospital network encompassing institutions across the city, hired Parkin Architects Planners in 1971 to design and construct University of Ottawa buildings within the network. These campus buildings were located in the Alta Vista neighbourhood and referred to as the Health Sciences Centre. This project consists of one building in that complex, the Health Sciences Building. The distinction between these names should be noted when viewing the materials. The Health Sciences Building was built as a teaching hospital and the main hub of clinical learning at the University of Ottawa’s School of Medicine. The building was conceived as a response to a lack of research spaces in Ottawa hospitals at that time. The building was proposed to be 230,000 net assigned square feet, with 75,000 net assigned square feet designated as research space. The project is recorded through textual records, construction photographs, drawings and artwork dating from 1971-1984. The textual records show correspondence with the clients, consultants and contractors, construction change orders and instructions, site and construction reports, meeting minutes, specifications, financial records, detail and product research and planning, and schedules. There are also a large number of detail drawings disbursed throughout the textual records. Box AP018.S1.1974.PR02.001 contains an index to the textual records, which was created by the office.
