Project
AP018.S1.1974.PR16
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 alterations to terminals one and two of the Toronto International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario from 1983-1984. The office identified the project number as 8313. 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 changes made to both of those terminals. Alterations at terminal one included alterations to the medical clinic at the basement level and discussion of mending the ceilings at the departures level. Alterations to terminal two included the expansion of retail concession space and the extension of the transborder airside corridor. The project is recorded through drawings, a photograph of a terminal interior, and textual records dating from 1983-1984. The drawings are arranged within the textual materials. The textual records consist of specifications, conference reports, site reports, contract and tender documents, consultancy records and construction notes.

Toronto International Airport, Terminal Two Parking Structures, Mississauga, Ontario (1974-1975)
AP018.S1.1974.PR19
Description:
This project series documents a parking structure for the Toronto International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario from 1974-1975. The office identified the project number as 7425. This project consisted of a five-level, above ground parking garage with a capacity of approximately 5000 vehicles. The parking structure was designed for Terminal Two at the airport (now known as Toronto Pearson International Airport) and would connect departing and arriving passengers from the airport to the structure via tunnels. Parkin Architect Planners were hired as the consulting architects for this project by Fenco-Barton Engineers. Fenco Barton was awarded with the Prestressed Concrete Institute Award in 1979 to for excellence in architectural and engineering design using precast and prestressed concrete. The project is recorded through drawings, photographic materials and textual records dating from 1974-1975. The drawings are mostly original sketches of the design. Photographs and negatives show research on other parking structures. The textual records consist of correspondence, conference reports, interoffice letters and project notes.
