AP018.S1.1970.PR10
Description:
This project series documents an expansion to an office building at the Toronto International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario in 1970. The office identified the project number as 70060. During this time, John B. Parkin Associates, and later John C. Parkin's new firm Parkin Architects Planners, were commissioned by the government Department of Transport Air Services to complete more than a dozen projects at the Toronto International Airport, including terminals one and two. This project consisted of an expansion of the existing offices attached to cargo block B warehouse. The warehouse was also undergoing expansion at this time (see project series AP018.S1.1970.PR05 described in this fonds). The project is recorded through reprographic copies of drawings dating from 1970, which include site and floor plans, sections, elevations and electrical and mechanical drawings.

Description:
This project series documents a competition entry for new structures and upgrades to the Mysore Dasara Exhibition complex in Mysuru, India in 1987. It should be noted that the previous name of Mysuru was Mysore. The project consisted of upgrades to the existing exhibition grounds to create permanent infrastructure for the annual festivities. The client, Karnataka Exhibition Authority, asked architects to design a general layout for the site including pavilions, administrative offices, restaurants, kiosks, parking, amusements and theatres, among many others. A new entrance gate was also emphasized in the competition guidelines. The project is recorded through drawings of the site, gate and museum dating from around 1987 and correspondence dating from 1987.

Description:
This project series documents the Sifto Salt Division Mill and Warehouse of Domtar Chemicals Limited in Goderich, Ontario, Canada from 1962-1963. The office probably identified the project number as either 6237 or 6264. This project consisted of a 62,000 square foot facility on the existing industrial complex of Domtar. The building was clad in epoxy faced brick and concrete up to the third floor, while the rest of the structure was clad in ribbed cement asbestos siding up to the roof. The building included process areas, packaging areas, a warehouse, bagging room, offices, cafeteria and canteen, and shipping and recieving areas. This project won a special mention at the Massey Medal for Architecture in 1964. The project is recorded through a mounted photograph showing the finished buillding.

Description:
This project series documents interior design for Main Street of Hasbro Headquarters in Pawtucket, Rhode Island from 1989-1991. The office identified the project number as 8902. This project consisted of the interiors of the company's headquarters for an area of the building known as Main Street. This was the first in a series of projects that the firm would complete for the headquarters. The 300,000 square foot building was predominantly one-storey and located on the block between Saratoga, Grand, London and Newport Avenues. The three projects were known as Main Street, Phase 2A and Phase 2B. Phase 1 was completed in 1986 by Barton Myers Associates with Shirley Blumberg as partner-in-charge. These subsequent projects by KPMB were also headed by Shirley Blumberg and continued the initial style she had established in Phase 1. These projects saw the conversion of a historic brick and masonry mill into the company's new offices. The office structure was inspired by the layout of a Greek town, with a main street running through it. Main Street was a wide corridor which spanned the length of the building, acting as a central artery for activity. The corridor was flooded with natural light from the original saw tooth skylights on the ceiling and lantern-like offices lined the sides. Small rooms were positioned in the corridor, including the main conference room with a large curved wall, a reception area and two smaller conference rooms. Maple screens, translucent glass and steel were the prominent materials used for Main Street. The project is recorded through drawings dating from 1987-1988. These are mostly original drawings and include sketches, plans, sections, elevations, perspectives, details, and furniture drawings. Many of the plans focus on the design of the executive bathroom.

Description:
This project series documents changes to the CN Telecommunications Building made by Air Canada in Toronto from 1981-1984. The office identified the project number as 8115. The project consisted of electrical, mechanical and architectural changes made to the 6th, 7th, and 8th floors of the CN telecommunications building at 151 Front Street West. This was to allow for Air Canada's computer equipment centre, requiring 20,000 square feet of space, and support offices for 184 employees. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1980-1984. Most of the drawings are reprographic copies showing details. The textual records include correspondence, conference and site reports, a definitive study to determine the project scope, financial records, change orders, supplementary instruction, contract data, tender documents and specifications.
