AP018.S1.1984.PR04
Description:
This project series documents a study to determine the location of the RCMP building at the Lester B. Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario in 1984. The office identified the project number as 8406. Since the early 1960s, John B. Parkin Associates, and later John C. Parkin's new firm Parkin Architects Planners, had been commissioned by the government Department of Transport Air Services (now Transport Canada) to complete more than a dozen projects at the Toronto International Airport, including terminals one and two. This project consisted of a study to determine the best location for the RCMP at the airport. At the time of the study, the RCMP were located in terminal one, but the growing needs of other airport departments had pushed them into a temporary location. This study investigated two possible options, the construction of a new police building or the renovation of the central workshop facility. The report suggested the latter option, which could house the RCMP offices, technical and exhibit spaces, holding cells, storage and support facilities. The project is recorded through textual records dating from 1984, which consist of the project proposal and risk and cost analysis sheets.

Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of the Gage Transitional Living Centre at Westpark Hospital in York, Ontario from 1983-1985. The office identified the project number as 8312. This project consisted of a modular building shaped like four octagons joined in the middle by two half-octagons. The building, located at 82 Buttonwood Avenue, was designed as a transitional living centre and permanent care facility for adults with physical disabilities. It was connected by tunnel to the main hospital, Westpark Hospital. The centre included 24 patient suites, approximately 400 square feet each, 12 of which were designed for permanent residents. Other areas included recreation rooms, dining areas and lounges. All patient rooms were on the ground level to aid accessibility. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1983-1986. The drawings are all reprographic copies including mechanical, electrical and structural drawings as well as plans, sections, elevations and details. The textual records consist of correspondence, meeting minutes, specifications, construction reports and other documentation, change orders, and insurance and contract records. Box AP018.S1.1983.PR06.001 contains an index to the textual records, which was created by the office.

Description:
This project series documents the design of a US pre-clearance facility at terminal one of the Toronto International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario in 1978. The office identified the project number as 7805. Since the early 1960s, John B. Parkin Associates, and later John C. Parkin's new firm Parkin Architects Planners, had been 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 the design of an area to accommodate pre-clearance screening to the US, which was located between fingers one and two at terminal one. The area is referred to as a node, and contained washrooms, customs areas, immigration areas, and a duty free that was accessible to international traffic. Many gates at terminal one had to be redesignated to accommodate this new facility. The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1978. The drawings are largely reprographic copies of floor plans and site plans, with sections of the original terminal one building included. Some drawings in this project series were created by the architectural firm Searle, Wilbee, Rowland, which was one of the names used for Parkin's firm after the merger of John B. Parkin Associates with Winnipeg-based firm Smith, Carter and Searle. The textual records include conference reports, correspondence and a feasibility report.

Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of an office building and planning for additional projects in North York, Ontario from 1976-1983. The office identified the project number as 7626. The project consisted of a ten storey office building located at 1500 Don Mills Road with approximately 250,000 square feet of space. Owned and commissioned by Marathon Realty, the majority of the building's space was designed for rental. The ground floor of the building was to host retail spaces and a connection to local transit. The project was divided into two phases. Phase I was the construction of this office building and Phase II was the construction of an additional office building and a parking structure on the same property. Under this project number, only Phase I was realized, with the additional buildings receiving their own project numbers from the office later on. The project is recorded through drawings, construction progress photographs, textual records and a mounted work of art dating from 1974-1983. The textual records include correspondence, site reports, tests and inspections, meeting minutes and reports, specifications, tenders documents, detail planning records, change orders, supplementary instructions and financial records. Also included is an article written by John C. Parkin for Canadian Architect on the development of the property, which previously hosted his own offices until their demolition before the start of this project (see box AP018.S1.1976.PR19.025).

AP018.S1.1974.PR22
Description:
This project series documents the design and construction of the medical clinic building at the Etobicoke General Hospital site in Etobicoke, Ontario from 1974-1980. The office identified the project number as 7428. At the same time that Parkin Architects Planners was constructing the Etobicoke General Hospital, they began working on this project, an adjacent medical clinic that would be attached to the hospital via tunnel. This project consisted of an 80 suite medical centre with a proposed space of 65,000 square feet including the building’s basement. The building shared architectural unity with the neighbouring hospital but was built at a distance in order to allow for future expansions of the hospital. In the project materials, the building is also referred to as the Professional Building. A prominent part of this project was design work for the radiology department in the clinic. It should be noted when viewing textual records and drawings in this project series that many are entitled Rexdale Radiological Services Limited. This project originally began under a different project number assigned by the office, but was built under this project number after the building's location was changed. This original project is also described in the fonds (see project series AP018.S1.1972.PR14). The project is recorded through drawings, photographs and textual records dating from 1974-1980. A large part of the drawings show site plans, but elevations, sections, details and floor plans are also included. The photographs track the construction progress of the project. The textual records include correspondence, meeting minutes and reports, specifications, tender documents, change orders, supplementary instructions, design records, site reports and detail planning records. Box AP018.S1.1974.PR22.009 contains an index to the textual records, which was created by the office.
