AP018.S1.1966.PR01
Description:
This project series documents the construction of the Etobicoke General Hospital in Etobicoke, Ontario from 1966-1971. The office identified the project number as 6601. The project consisted of the design and construction of a twelve storey hospital building. The area of the building was 409,000 square feet and included 500 beds, diagnostic and treatment facilities, laboratories, administrative spaces, a cafeteria, and a staff lounge. This project was considered to be the first phase of construction at the time, with a medical office building and educational facilities to be added later on. The building was also designed to accommodate future vertical and horizontal expansion. John C. Parkin was originally hired for this project while he was working at the firm John B. Parkin Associates. This firm eventually evolved under new ownership, and was referred to as Searle Wilbee Rowland and later, as NORR. John C. Parkin left this firm during the project and continued work for the Etobicoke General Hospital under his new firm Parkin Architects Planners. All three firm names are present within materials for this project. The project is recorded through reprographic copies of drawings, including a presentation board, dating from 1968-1976. These drawings include as-built drawings, site plans, floor plans, elevations, sections, details, and construction schedules.

Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of the Eaton’s store building at Dundas Square in Toronto from 1973-1977. The office identified the project number as 7303. This project, commissioned by The T. Eaton Co. Limited, consisted of a one million square foot department store with thirteen floors, ten above ground and three below. The building boasted nine floor of retail space, seamlessly connected through elevators and escalators. The remaining floors hosted office and storage spaces. Located at the corner of Yonge and Dundas streets, the Eaton’s store was connected to the Eaton Centre mall to its south. The mall, designed and built simultaneously with the Eaton’s store, was designed by the architecture firm Craig Zeidler Strong. For the Eaton’s store project, Parkin Architects Planners created a joint venture with architect C. Blakeway Millar, referred to as Parkin Millar in the documentation. Parkin Millar was the associate architects on this project, with the Eaton’s company architect, E.L. Hankinson, working as the primary architect. Each of the firms mentioned worked closely together to develop a cohesive design for the Eaton’s store and Eaton’s Centre mall, which is evident in the materials. The project is recorded through drawings, textual records, a book and presentation boards dating from 1973-1977. There are a large number of original drawings and sketches for the project. Most of the reprographic copies are arranged within the textual materials. There are presentation boards of the Vancouver Eaton's store in this project series that were likely used as reference by the architects. The textual records consist of correspondence, meeting minutes, site reports, change orders, consultancy records, inter-office letters, and specifications. Also in this project series is a special edition of the Eaton News, a monograph with in depth descriptions of the project.

Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of the University of Ottawa Health Sciences Building in Ottawa, Ontario from 1974-1984. The office identified the project number as 7402. The Ottawa Heath Sciences Complex, a vast hospital network encompassing institutions across the city, hired Parkin Architects Planners in 1971 to design and construct University of Ottawa buildings within the network. These campus buildings were located in the Alta Vista neighbourhood and referred to as the Health Sciences Centre. This project consists of one building in that complex, the Health Sciences Building. The distinction between these names should be noted when viewing the materials. The Health Sciences Building was built as a teaching hospital and the main hub of clinical learning at the University of Ottawa’s School of Medicine. The building was conceived as a response to a lack of research spaces in Ottawa hospitals at that time. The building was proposed to be 230,000 net assigned square feet, with 75,000 net assigned square feet designated as research space. The project is recorded through textual records, construction photographs, drawings and artwork dating from 1971-1984. The textual records show correspondence with the clients, consultants and contractors, construction change orders and instructions, site and construction reports, meeting minutes, specifications, financial records, detail and product research and planning, and schedules. There are also a large number of detail drawings disbursed throughout the textual records. Box AP018.S1.1974.PR02.001 contains an index to the textual records, which was created by the office.

Phun City
AP144.S2.D77
Description:
File documents the executed project for Phun City, a "temporary city" for an outdoor pop music festival at Ecclesden Commons in Sussex, England. Cedric Price was commissioned to coordinate the design and construction of the site, which was to include a stage, tower, cinema, theatre, administration and medical buildings, movable sleeping structures, public toilets, fencing, crash barriers and access roads. Drawings illustrate the development of the functional relationships among activities, as well as, access to, and circulation within, the concert site. A site plan shows the broader context of Ecclesden Commons; keyed diagrammatic plans locate main activity enclosures, pedestrian and vehicular access routes, proposed parking, emergency routes to and from the site, and wire and chain link barriers and fences. A diagrammatic site plan shows the final layout, including last minute alterations prior to the opening of the concert. A second site plan has been marked up with notes indicating how the spectators appropriated the site during the concert, moving some of the portable buildings and circulating in patterns that were different than those anticipated by Price. The client for Phun City Festival, Mick Farren was involved at the Isle of Wright Festival which was held one month later (Price with Murray 1971, 40). Some material in this file was published in "Cedric Price Supplement No. 2", 'Architectural Design', vol. 41, (January 1971), 40, and 'Cedric Price-Works II' (London: Architectural Press, 1984), 18, 30. Material in this file was produced between 1970 and 1971. File contains design development drawings, map, photographic materials, and textual records.

Projet
AP018.S1.1972.PR08
Description:
This project series documents the second stage of the expansion of the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) in Toronto from 1972-1977. The office identified the project number as 7208. This project consisted of the expansion of the AGO that began in 1972. It was Stage II of the expansion program, which began in 1969 with Stage I. Most prominent in this project was the extension of the gallery’s west side to reach Beverley Street. This wing housed the new Education and Extension (E&E) branch galleries and educational facilities, and a two-storey reference library. The library included a 10,000 square foot reading room and an audiovisual library. This stage also proposed an extension to the south of the main gallery, directly east of the Grange mansion, that would connect the AGO to the neighbouring Ontario College of Art. It should be noted that while AGO project contracts were originally given to John B. Parkin Associates, John C. Parkin continued the project under his new firm, Parkin Architects Planners, after parting ways with partner John B. Parkin in 1971. The project is recorded through drawings, photographs, and textual records dating from 1971-1983. The majority of the drawings are reprographic copies of detail drawings arranged with the textual records, although original drawings of details are also present within the textual records. Large drawings housed separately show both the design development and construction of the project. There are also presentation boards showing floor plan schemes. The textual records include contractor and client correspondence, meeting reports, specifications, project notebooks, tender documents, contract data, consultancy records, site reports, certificates of payment and other financial documentation, change orders, supplementary instructions, deficiency lists, detail planning records, and studies. Box AP018.S1.1972.PR08.001 contains an index to the textual records, which was created by the office.

DR1962:0006
Description:
- DR1962:0006 shows a perspective view of a portion of a formal garden terrace laid out symmetrically before a three-storey circular structure. The terrace, which is approached on axis by two steps flanked by sculpted river allegories, is centred on a circular basin and backed by a wall surmounted by potted plants, mostly palm trees and pineapple plants; the middle section of the rear wall curves back concentric to the terrace basin. Beyond the terrace wall and on line with the steps and basin rises the circular structure. With its Corinthian peristyle, this structure has the form of an antique circular temple, such as the so-called "Temple of Vesta" at Tivoli (first century B.C.). Unlike such classical models, however, the columns of the peristyle are set on tall rusticated pedestals that flare outward as they descend to the ground, the entablature carries a balustrade topped by a series of sculpted figures, and the whole is crowned by a tall, slender lantern (although no dome is visible). Within the peristyle, the inner wall is opened regularly by two storeys of windows, each with its own frame and pediment. The overall effect of this structure is not dissimilar to that of James Gibb's Radcliffe Camera, Oxford (1739-49). - In the foreground of DR1962:0006 appear two groups of figures: that on the left consisting of two gardeners carrying a potted pineapple plant, and that on the right consisting of a seated woman attended by a man, a woman (the latter shading her mistress with a parasol), and a figure, apparently a physician, who offers the seated woman a bowl of fruit.
