Offices for Davies, Ward and Beck, Renovations, 47th Floor Commerce Court, Toronto (1978-1979)
AP018.S1.1978.PR13
Description:
This project series documents renovations made to the offices of law firm Davies, Ward and Beck on the 47th floor of Commerce Court in Toronto from 1978-1979. The office identified the project number as 7821. This project consisted of mechanical and architectural renovations to the boardroom, MTST-TELEX room, offices, and lunchroom, among others. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1973-1979. The drawings are mostly reprographic copies of floor plans, and electrical and mechanical drawings. Some of these drawings were originally used in an earlier project (project series AP018.S1.1972.PR05 in this fonds), but were reused with annotations in this project series. The textual records consist of mechanical specifications.

Description:
This project series documents an addition to the IBM headquarters building in North York, Ontario from 1970-1971. The office identified the project number as 70002. This project consisted of an expansion to the north-west corner of the U-shaped building, which was located on top of a ravine at 1150 Eglington Avenue East, on the same property as the IBM plant. The planning for this addition had already commenced when the original building's construction began by Parkin Architects Planners in 1965 (see project series AP018.S1.1965.PR03 described in this fonds). The project is recorded through reprographic copies of drawings dating from 1970, which consist of construction sets of architectural, structural, electrical and mechanical drawings.
