AP018.S1.1969.PR04
Description:
This project series documents the master plan for the future Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) expansion projects in Toronto in 1969. The office identified the project number as 69035. This project outlines the complete master plan for future expansions of the gallery. For decades, the AGO, under its previous name, The Art Gallery of Toronto, consisted of the nineteenth century Grange mansion and a gallery to its north. The project shows the growth of the AGO from two small buildings surrounded by parks to a much larger two storey building that would touch Dundas Street to the north, Beverly Street to the West, and McCaul Street and the Ontario College of Art to the East. In total, three stages were proposed in this plan to increase the AGO sevenfold from 32,000 square feet of gallery space to 253,000 square feet. In addition, a parking lot was proposed in the Dundas Street Mall to the east of the gallery. Originally, the stages were known in the documentation as Phases I, II, III, and IA but their names evolved with the project. Each stage was eventually given its own project number by the office and the original master plan documented in this project series changed in size and design over the years. This project contract was originally given to John B. Parkin Associates. However, 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, including presentation boards, dating from 1965-1978. The majority of these are original drawings showing the design planning of the art gallery.

Projet
AP018.S1.1971.PR11
Description:
This project series documents the design and purchase of equipment and furnishings for the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto in 1971. The office identified the project number as 7118. Beginning in 1969, Parkin’s firm was hired as the head architects for the AGO’s massive expansion program that would span more than a decade. This is one project relating to the expansion of the art gallery. It consisted of the furnishings and equipment for the newly expanded gallery, which included benches, lecture hall seating, carpets, desks, and fabrics. 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 and textual records dating from around 1971-1979. The textual records show the planning and purchase of furnishings through correspondence, financial records, meeting minutes, and specifications. The drawings show the proposed layouts and design of the gallery furnishings.
