Scope and Content

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.
