AP001.S6.1924.PR04
Description:
La construction de l’Université de Montréal s’est effectuée sur plusieurs années. Cormier est architecte en chef entre 1924 et 1947 et agit à titre d’architecte-conseil et d’ingénieur-conseil entre 1950 et 1961. Il semblait inévitable de diviser le cadre de classement en deux phases pour bien distinguer le rôle et l’implication de Cormier qui diffère durant ces deux périodes. La présence de deux plans d’ensembles très différents proposés en 1931 et 1961 appuie cette décision. Cette première phase s’étend sur une aussi longue période puisque le processus de construction a été parsemé de problèmes logistiques et financiers. Dès le début des travaux, le sol cause des problèmes lors de l’excavation et engendre des coûts supplémentaires en plus de retarder le processus. Avec la crise financière qui frappe en 1929, les travaux sont progressivement stoppés. De plus, les conditions météorologiques vont endommager une partie de la toiture et de la maçonnerie qui avait déjà été entamée, ce qui vient encore une fois engendrer des coûts additionnels. Suite au contexte économique particulier, l’administration de l’UdeM demande l’aide financière du gouvernement provincial pour protéger ce qui avait déjà été construit du pavillon principal. Le bâtiment sera finalement repris en 1943 et inauguré en 1947. Suite aux nombreux problèmes qui parsèmeront la première phase, le plan initial proposé par Cormier qui comprenait un stade, un aréna et la maison des animaux, sera abandonné au détriment du pavillon principal. Les projets non-réalisés sont tout de même documenté dans leurs sous-séries respectives. Il est important de prendre note que les plans produits par Cormier concernant les ailes du pavillon principal qui allaient servir de Centre Hospitalier ne seront jamais réalisés. Différents départements vont plutôt occuper l’espace.

Description:
The five diverse pamphlets and publications primarily document certain architecturally-related events during Vancouver's explosive growth through the 1950s. Included are a fund-raising campaign brochure for the expansion of the Vancouver Art Gallery, 1949-1951, and an invitation to the inauguration of the Frederick Lasserre Architecture and Fine Arts Building at the University of British Columbia (UBC). The building was constructed by architects Thompson, Berwick, Pratt in 1957-1958, but officially opened in 1962 after the death of Lasserre (1911-1961), UBC's first director of the school of architecture. The series also includes "Project '58", a relatively rare privately-printed pamphlet given to Rhodri Windsor-Liscombe by architect Geoffrey Massey. Written by Wells Coates, with Massey, Arthur Erickson, Peter Oberlander, and E.J. Watkins, the illustrated proposal recommended the creation of a local urban-design centre in 1958 to forestall the rise of private development through the implimentation of a master plan strategy for Vancouver. Material in this series was produced between 1946 and 1962. Series contains a pamphlet, invitation brochures and publications.
