Project
AP018.S1.1984.PR02
Description:
This project series documents the expansion of the conservation labs at the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) in Toronto from 1984-1985. The office identified the project number as 8404. This project consisted of the addition of 2200 square feet of space to the conservation labs at the gallery. This space included a new inpainting studio for painting conservation, a paper conservation lab, and a matting and framing room for prints and drawings. Beginning in 1969, Parkin’s firm was hired as the head architects for the AGO’s massive expansion program that would span more than a decade. This is one project relating to the expansion of the art gallery. It should be noted that while AGO project contracts were originally given to John B. Parkin Associates, John C. Parkin continued the project under his new firm, Parkin Architects Planners, after parting ways with partner John B. Parkin in 1971. The project is recorded through drawings, construction photographs, building material samples and textual records dating from 1984-1985. The textual records consist of specifications, contractor correspondence and reports, invoices, and change orders.
