Film and camera manufacturer Kodak operated a large plant, in Mount Dennis, Ontario, from the mid 1910s to the mid 2000s, of which only Kodak building nine remains.〔〔〔 At the height of its operations the campus contained over a dozen buildings. It was the employee recreation building housing a gym and cafeteria. Kodak hosted a weekly movie night in the Cafeteria. Although building 9 has been vandalized it has been proposed it be designated as a heritage property and preserved and repurposed. Rick McGinnis, in ''Blog TO'', wrote: ''"What I can't understand is how no one can see the value of Building 9, even if just as a reminder of when even blue collar life had its touches of elegance..."''〔 Regional transit agency MetroLinx purchased the Kodak campus in 2012.〔 And has described plans to make building nine a key component of a regional transit hub to be situated on the south edge of the site. Local Mount Dennis residents lobbied for the last remaining building to be retained and restored, even though in approximately ten years since the campus had been abandoned it had been heavily vandalized.〔 On February 12, 2014, the ''York Guardian'' reported on an initiative to get more public input as to how the Kodak campus will be re-developed.〔 Peter Frampton, of the Learning Enrichment Foundation, asserted that the site should be put to more uses than transit. In May 2013 MetroLinx agreed to take in community input in the uses of the property.〔 Peter Gatt of the Photographic Museum of Ontario called for the building to be the museum's new home.〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kodak building nine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
