Description:
This project series documents the Donwood Foundations Hospital and Rehabilitation Centre in North York, Ontario from 1964-1966. The office identified the project number as 6418. This project consisted of a four level building, with brick and steel fascia exteriors, that served as an alcohol and addiction treatment hospital. Surrounded by wooded landscapes and overlooking the Don River and ravine, the L-shaped building was 42,000 square feet in size. The building's interiors were designed to exude warmth, friendship and inclusion through the use of warm wood finishes and colourful carpeting and upholstery. The hospital included 49 patient beds, an auditorium, a lounge with balcony, and therapy rooms. The project is recorded through a presentation board of an exterior photograph and reprographic copies of drawings dating from 1966. The drawings consist of construction plans, elevations, sections, details, layouts, and structural, mechanical and electrical drawings.

Series
AP195.S4
Description:
Series 4: Press, publications and events, 1999 – 2011, contains materials used to publicize the Phaeno Science Centre during and after its construction. Formats include CAD drawings (plotter files, AutoCAD, and EPS), image files (TIFF, JPEG, EXIF), and text (PDF, Microsoft Word). The bulk of the material dates from 2000 to 2007. This series significantly overlaps with the previous three series, because many design and construction images were repurposed for publications and the press. The materials in this series largely relate to at least two different books written about the Phaeno Science Centre; one is titled “Phaeno Construction Drawings, 2000-2005” and the other is unidentified. There are also photographs, presentation files, award applications, and press information created during and after Phaeno Science Centre construction. Notably, there is also a grouping of materials relating to the use of concrete in this project.
