Description:
Project series AP154.S1.1979.PR01, George & Annette Murphy Center at Asphalt Green, New York, N.Y. (1979), documents an executed project to recycle a municipal asphalt plant into a youth sports and arts center. Clients for the project were the New York City Department of General Services and the Neighborhood Committee for the Asphalt Green, chaired by Dr. George Murphy. The asphalt plant was a parabolic structure built in the 1940s by the firm Kahn and Jacobs. Pasanella + Klein worked on the adaptive reuse project with HOK, successors to Kahn and Jacobs. The transformed interior includes two gymnasia of different sizes, a running track, art and photography studios, offices, lockers, showers and a theatre. The design includes an on-site total energy plant. The project series consists of presentation drawings. References: Kerr, Laurie.

Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of the Hamilton Trade Centre and Arena in Hamilton, Ontario from 1982-1985. The office identified the project number as 8207. The project consisted of a 60,000 square foot exhibition hall and arena, which had a capacity of 18,000. Opening in November 1985, the building was designed to host sports events (primarily hockey) and concerts. The project was reported to have cost $42 million. Along with Parkin Partnership as the architecture firm, John C. Parkin’s engineering company Parkin Engineers Ltd. worked as structural engineers on the project. The building, commissioned by the city of Hamilton, was officially called Copps Coliseum after the former Hamilton mayor, Victor Copps, who pushed for its creation throughout his career. In 2014, the name was changed to FirstOntario Centre. The project is recorded through reprographic copies of construction drawings, research, construction and presentation photographs, and textual records dating from 1982-1987. The textual records show design research, client correspondence, contractor work, specifications, publicity, and financial records. Any original drawings for this project are arranged within the textual records.

Description:
This project series documents the Joseph Stauffer Library at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario from 1990-1994. The office identified the project number as 9011. This project was the winning entry of a national design competition and was completed with Thomas Payne at its head and with the firm Moffat Kinoshita Associates acting as consulting architects. Located at the corner of Alfred and University Streets, the project consisted of a new 200,000 square foot library for the campus. Influenced by the surrounding gothic collegiate buildings, the library's exteriors focused on vertical, upward movement and had rich textures created by limestone, copper flashing and wood window frames and entrance screens. The library's main entrance at the Union Street and University Street corner was a rotunda that featured a fireplace-lined reading room on the second floor. Other reading rooms and a café lined the building's exterior, while the main library stacks were housed in the core of the building. Wood panelling was disbursed amongst the walls to add warmth to the buildings interior. This project also included plans to expand the library in the following decades. This project received a Governor General's Award in Architecture in 1997. This project is recorded through drawings, photographs, presentation paintings and textual records dating from 1990-1994. The drawings are mostly originals and include sketches, presentation drawings, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives, details and axonometric drawings. The photographs show the finished building, while the textual records consist of publicity on the building and the program description.

AP056.S1.1990.PR03
Description:
This project series documents the Joseph Stauffer Library at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario from 1990-1994. The office identified the project number as 9011. This project was the winning entry of a national design competition and was completed with Thomas Payne at its head and with the firm Moffat Kinoshita Associates acting as consulting architects. Located at the corner of Alfred and University Streets, the project consisted of a new 200,000 square foot library for the campus. Influenced by the surrounding gothic collegiate buildings, the library's exteriors focused on vertical, upward movement and had rich textures created by limestone, copper flashing and wood window frames and entrance screens. The library's main entrance at the Union Street and University Street corner was a rotunda that featured a fireplace-lined reading room on the second floor. Other reading rooms and a café lined the building's exterior, while the main library stacks were housed in the core of the building. Wood panelling was disbursed amongst the walls to add warmth to the buildings interior. This project also included plans to expand the library in the following decades. This project received a Governor General's Award in Architecture in 1997. This project is recorded through drawings, photographs, presentation paintings and textual records dating from 1990-1994. The drawings are mostly originals and include sketches, presentation drawings, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives, details and axonometric drawings. The photographs show the finished building, while the textual records consist of publicity on the building and the program description.
