Reference number:
AP056.S1.1994.PR06
Description:
This project series documents a prototype bank branch for Canada Trust in Bowmanville, Ontario from 1994-1995. The office identified the project number as 9413. This project consisted of the design of several types of bank branches including free-standing buildings, drive-thru branches and the electronic branches of the future. The goal was to create brand recognition through consistent design features and to adapt to the accessibility needs of the bank's clientele. The primary site was at the corner of Liberty and King Streets in Bowmanville, but the architects examined how the initial concept could be altered for different local environments. Graphics, furniture, banking accessories, and ABM façades were also designed. The project is recorded through a model, drawings and some accompanying notes dating from 1994-1995. The drawings include site surveys, sketches, presentation drawings, plans, elevations, sections, perspectives and details. Some drawings for furnishings and signage are also included.
