Description:
This project series documents the plant and offices of Ortho Pharmaceutical (Canada) Ltd. on Green Belt Drive in North York, Ontario from 1955-1956. The office identified the project number as 5508. This project consisted of a 36,000 square foot L-shaped building that housed administrative offices, manufacturing areas and laboratories, storage spaces and a cafeteria. The building's exterior was largely composed of windows, with white-painted steal columns and beams framing the forefront. Other parts of the building were white glazed brick. The design won a Silver Massey Medal for Architecture in 1958. The project is recorded through a mounted project photograph dating from around 1956.

Description:
This project series documents the Warner-Lambert Research Institute of Canada in Sheridan Park, Mississauga, Ontario from 1964-1966. The office identified the project number as 6417. This project consisted of administrative offices, laboratories and animal rooms housed in a 30,000 square foot building. The single-storey building was raised on a 3-foot podium and its exteriors were comprised of white brick with dark solar bronze glazed windows breaking up the façade. The H-shaped building was built with rigorous temperature controls and vermin proof electrical systems. This project is recorded through drawings and a presentation panel dating from 1964 to around 1966. The drawings are all reprographic copies and consist of plans, elevations, sections, details, schedules and structural drawings. The presentation panel shows the completed building.

AP056.S1.2000.PR06
Description:
This project series documents the design for McGill University and Génome Québec Innovation Centre in Montréal from 2000-2002. The office identified the project number as 2000-25. "This project was conceived to act as a networking site for research initiatives in the fields of genomics and proteomics. It accommodated five distinct research groups within a 92,000 square-foot facility: the Montreal Genome Centre, the Montreal Proteomics Centre, the Génome Québec Expertise Centre, the Montreal Bone Research Centre, and 5 bio-business incubators. The plan balanced specialized laboratory and office space with three key interactive spaces – the public passage through the building which linked the city to the campus, the atrium which provided an interactive social space for the facility, and the teleconference room. The laboratories, where raw data was gathered, were located on the east, while the bioinformatics offices for data analysis were located on the west. The intent was to create a building that acted as an instrument for knowledge, and to position the public spaces strategically and symbolically as reminders that the work of science was directly connected to humanity."[1] The project is recorded through drawings dating from around 2002. These are mostly original drawings and include sketches, plans, sections, elevations, perspectives, and details. [1]"McGill University and Génome Québec Innovation Centre." KPMB.
