Description:
This project series documents renovations to the Ontario Association of Architects headquarters in Toronto from 1974-1978. The office identified the project number as 7420. This project consisted of renovations to the heating, air conditioning and lighting systems of the office building. The project also investigated an expansion of the building within its current perimeter, stating a horizontal expansion would be too expensive due to the poor condition of the surrounding ground. A third floor addition to the three-level building was recommended. The headquarters had been designed by John C. Parkin's previous firm, John B. Parkin Associates, in the 1950s and was located at 50 Park Road. The project is recorded through textual records and reprographic copies of drawings dating from 1973-1978. The drawings are all arranged within the textual materials, which consist of containing correspondence, interoffice memos, supplementary instructions, change orders, certificates of payment, inspection and conference reports, contract documents and a feasibility study. Box AP018.S1.1974.PR16.001 contains an index to the textual records, which was created by the office.

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.
