Scope and Content

This project series documents the College E building at York University in North York, Ontario from 1968-1969. The office identified the project number as 68007.

This project, referred to as College E Academic and Dining Complex, consisted of a three-level building with a basement and mechanical penthouse. This project was built by John B. Parkin Associates, in a joint venture with Gordon S. Adamson Associates and Shore & Moffat and Partners. These three architecture firms formed a joint venture known as UPACE (University Planners Architects And Consulting Engineer). This project was part of a larger master plan by UPACE, which built more than a dozen buildings for the university during this time.

The project is recorded through reprographic copies of drawings dating from 1969. These were a set of construction plans, details, elevations, sections, schedules and mechanical, electrical and structural drawings.
