Description:
This project series documents the expansion of the Golden Rock Airport in Basseterre, St. Kitts and Nevis (previously West Indies) from 1976-1980. The office identified the project number as 7629. This project consisted of the expansion of the passenger terminal to accommodate larger, international flights in order to increase tourism to the island. The expansion included alterations to the check-in and ticketing areas to improve passenger flow, enlargement of the departure lounge and concession areas, and the enlargement of the arrivals area. The project consisted of two phases of demolition and construction. As of the early 2000s, the airport was renamed the Robert L. Bradshaw International Airport. This project was commissioned by Transport Canada Airports and Construction Services for the Canadian International Development Agency. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1976-1984. The drawings contain some French language or bilingual materials. The textual records include correspondence, meeting and site reports, financial records, construction orders, interoffice letters, resource data, construction and detail planning records, contracts, the project proposal and specifications. Box AP018.S1.1976.PR22.013 contains an index to the textual materials, which was created by the office.

Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of printing facilities for the Edmonton Sun in Edmonton, Alberta in 1978. The office identified the project number as 7801. The Edmonton Sun printing facility was commissioned by its parent company, The Toronto Sun Publishing Limited. This project consisted of a one-storey business process area connected to a three-storey service core. In the service core, the first level consisted of a truck dock, shipping and receiving, roll storage, ink room, washrooms, reel room and mail room. The second floor was designed for the press deck, a specialized area for actions relating to placing the plates on the printing press. The third floor was designated for mechanical services and bulk storage. This project also described future expansions of the facility to include more roll storage, more press lines, a larger mail room and connections to a future publishing office. This project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1978-1979. All of the drawings are arranged within the textual materials and consist mostly of reprographic copies. The textual records include correspondence, conference reports, interoffice letters, specifications, the project proposal, and schedules.

AP018.S1.1984.PR04
Description:
This project series documents a study to determine the location of the RCMP building at the Lester B. Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario in 1984. The office identified the project number as 8406. Since the early 1960s, John B. Parkin Associates, and later John C. Parkin's new firm Parkin Architects Planners, had been commissioned by the government Department of Transport Air Services (now Transport Canada) to complete more than a dozen projects at the Toronto International Airport, including terminals one and two. This project consisted of a study to determine the best location for the RCMP at the airport. At the time of the study, the RCMP were located in terminal one, but the growing needs of other airport departments had pushed them into a temporary location. This study investigated two possible options, the construction of a new police building or the renovation of the central workshop facility. The report suggested the latter option, which could house the RCMP offices, technical and exhibit spaces, holding cells, storage and support facilities. The project is recorded through textual records dating from 1984, which consist of the project proposal and risk and cost analysis sheets.
