Project
AP018.S1.1966.PR04
Description:
This project series documents the Central Plaza building at York University in North York, Ontario from 1966-1967. The office identified the project number as 6653. This project consisted of a two-storey building with a basement that was connected to a library, Lecture Hall No. 2 and No. 3, and the humanities building that was under construction at the same time. This project was built by John B. Parkin Associates, in a joint venture with Gordon S. Adamson Associates and Shore & Moffat and Partners. These three architecture firms formed a joint venture known as UPACE (University Planners Architects And Consulting Engineer). This project was part of a larger master plan by UPACE, which built more than a dozen buildings for the university during this time. The project is recorded through reprographic copies of drawings dating from 1967. These were a set of construction plans, details, elevations, sections, schedules and mechanical, electrical and structural drawings.
