This project series documents renovations made to the offices of law firm Davies, Ward and Beck on the 47th and 48th floors of Commerce Court in Toronto from 1981-1983. The office identified the project number as 8104.
This project consisted of long range planning to prepare 11,000 square feet of office space on the 48th floor, 5000 of which would be ready for occupancy by spring 1982. This project also consisted of the relocation of offices, the lunchroom and other spaces to the 48th floor in order to increase the size of rooms on the 47th floor.
The project is recorded through drawings and textual records dating from 1980-1983. Most of the drawings are reprographic copies of plans, mechanical and electrical drawings, and details, but some sketches do exist. The textual records consist of conference reports and project notes.
Materials in this project series have been compiled from different accessions and/or arranged by material type.
