Description:
This project series documents the master plan for the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto in 1991. The office identified the project number as 9107. This project consisted of long-range planning for renovations and additions to the music school, located in Victorian-era McMaster Hall on Bloor Street and originally built in 1881. This plan came in preparation of the Conservatory's separation from the University of Toronto in 1987. The program recognized the need for 73,450 square feet of space for the school to carry out its teaching, administrative, public, and performance duties. The building had a basement, six floors above grade and two levels of parking. The work was to focus around public spaces for socialization and to create grand spaces for the performance of music. Smaller teaching and practice rooms, along with administrative spaces, were also to be included. The plan proposed the restoration of McMaster Hall, the restoration of Memorial Hall to the east of the building as a 220-seat recital hall, the creation of a new enclosed courtyard surrounded by cloisters, and renovations to the South Pavilion as a cafe. A new West Wing was also proposed to accommodate teaching and practice areas, while a new East Wing would contain a 550-seat concert hall. These changes were to be carried out in phases, with 3 phases proposed as the most effecient and cost effective. The project is recorded through drawings, presentation paintings, a magazine, and textual records dating from 1991. The drawings include sketches, presentation drawings, plans, elevations and sections. The magazine is a special issue of the Canadian Architect Awards of Excellence, featuring this project, and the textual records present the complete project proposal.

Description:
This project series documents St. John's City Hall and Civic Centre in Newfoundland from 1968-1970. The office identified the project number as 68002. This project consisted of three phases of development, with phase I being city hall, phase II being a commercial redevelopment, and phase III being additional public buildings. The master program included plans for a library, department store, supermarket, retail stores, a movie theatre, a hotel with a restaurant and banquet hall, a bus terminal and 160 residential units. It is not clear from the project materials whether these buildings were realized. The city hall site consisted of a concrete building on New Grower Street, which sat atop a concrete podium with parking below. A system of diagonal terraces with pedestrian areas also made up the podium. City hall, which was approximately four-storeys at its maximum height, included council chambers, offices, a great hall with artifacts and memorials, and municipal departments, among others. This project won an Award of Excellence for The Canadian Architect in 1968. The project is recorded through reprographic copies of mechanical and electrical drawings dating from 1970.
