Scope and content:
This project series documents the Dome Productions offices and studio in Toronto from 1988-1989. The office identified the project number as 8804.
This project consisted of a two-level office and studio area inside Toronto's SkyDome for the production company that was owned by The Sports Network (TSN). The main purpose of this space was to broadcast sports live from the stadium, but offices for producing, accounting, and marketing were also included. The two floors followed the curved shape of the stadium and were connected to one another by staircases. Visitors entered via large, glass doors into the reception area on the lower level, where they could move to the main lounge with its curved cappuccino bar, integrated into the main staircase. The lower level also held equipment rooms, fan rooms, editing areas, storage and offices. The upper level included two announcing booths, video editing suites, production spaces and conference rooms. The walls were composed of painted gypsum board but granite touches throughout stayed true to the concrete look of the stadium. Aluminum, steel, wood and sandblasted glass were also featured heavily throughout.
The project is recorded through drawings and photographs dating from 1988-1989. The drawings are mostly originals and include sketches, presentation drawings, plans, details, elevations, sections, axonometric drawings, and structural drawings. The photographs show the finished interiors of the project.
