Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of an office building for Marathon Realty in Toronto at the corner of York and Front Streets from 1980-1983. The office identified the project number as 8009. The project consisted of two nineteen storey towers with stainless steel and glass exteriors connected by a glass atrium on each floor. Owned and commissioned by Marathon Realty, the majority of the building’s space was designed for rental. Due to this, the design was highly modular with no interior walls on most floors. Each floor was approximately 18,000 square feet. The ground floor consisted of a lobby, a bank and a restaurant. At the beginning of this project, the project was named Marathon Realty Office Building, Front and York Streets. Soon after, the office building became known as University Place, which it is often referred to as in these materials. Eventually, the building would become the headquarters of CitiBank and renamed Citigroup Place. The project is recorded through drawings, photographs, textual records and other materials dating from 1980-1987. The majority of the drawings are located within the textual records and show the design of building details. Other drawings include site surveys, design development drawings, presentation drawings, and construction drawings. The photographs show construction progress, tests, models, and the finished project. The textual records contain the project proposal, contracts, client and contractor correspondence, inter-office memos, meeting minutes, financial records, change orders, supplementary instructions, specifications, detail planning, artist’s portfolios for the building’s art competition, site inspection reports, and schedules. File AP018.S1.1980.PR09.004 contains an index to the textual records, which was created by the office. The CCA also holds materials for a subproject under this project series, which document the installation of signs to the top of the building after the building's construction (AP018.S1.1980.PR09.SS1). Subproject materials are viewed separately from the project due to the different project numbers originally assigned by the office.

Description:
- This drawing is one of a group of eight student drawings for a town hall by Johannes Antonius van der Laan. The group includes three preliminary drawings dated March 1920 (DR1984:0784 - DR1984:0786) and three finished drawings and two renderings dated February 1921 (DR1984:0780 - DR1984:0783 and DR1987:0030). The signature of Laan's teacher, Henri Evers, is inscribed in the l.r. corner of the finished drawings and the renderings. The drawings were probably made during the period that Laan attended the Technische Hoogeschool te Delft (Malkin and 'Nederland Bouwt ...', 45).

Projet
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. Box AP018.S1.1974.PR19.009 contains an index to the textual records, which was created by the office

Description:
- This drawing is one of an incomplete group of four competition drawings for a housing development attributed to Johannes Antonius van der Laan. Drawings DR1984:0723 - DR1984:0725 and DR1987:0031 are lettered A, B, C, and E repectively. All of the drawings bear Laan's motto, "STUDWYK", which may be derived from "Stud[ent] wijk", student district. Drawings DR1984:0723 and DR1984:0724 show the student centre (clubgebouw). A general perspective view (DR1984:0725) shows the relationship between the student centre and the housing development depicted in drawing DR1987:0031.
