This project series documents a bus shelter in Fredericton, New Brunswick in 1975. The office identified the project number as 7505. This project consisted of the design of a bus shelter in front of the Fredericton Public Library, located at the corners of Campbell and Carleton Streets. For this project, Parkin Architects Planners partnered with architectural firm Graham Napier Associates to form the joint venture referred to as Graham Parkin Architects Engineers Planners. The library was also designed by Graham Parkin a few years earlier. The firms eventually lost this contract, based on the city's opinion that the firms hadn't acted quickly enough, the design was too permanent and the location was no longer available. The project is recorded through correspondence dating from 1975.

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.
