New b uildingpurchase gLurhaë The Principals of Cham- plain Graphies, a printing company that has been serv- ing Durham Region busi- nesses for some years now, specializing in colour sepa- rations and four colour offset printing, has purchased the building in which it is located from Edward J. Bell and TTEDD Limited. The building, an industrial mall, at 1850 Champlain Ave. in Whitby, over the last 10 years has been the location of a variety of businesses from Development Consul-* tants to Typesetting and Construction firms. However the new owners, Bert Van Noord, Ted Cormack and Red Brooks say that this is going to change. "We are going to trans- form the building into a centre for Graphic and Com- munication Services for Durham Region,- they said. We will be changing the image, appearance and fune- tion of the building. It has been in the back of our minds for some time that Durham Region business and indus- try needs a centrally located facility where they can find a great variety of visual com- munication services. This is precisely the function we think our building is going to provided to this region. It is located right in the Middle of Durham and on Champlain Ave. the north service road to the 401 in Whitby. To emphasize the location the new owners are giving the building a new name, "Durham Graphie Centre", which will also reflect its new function as a Centre for 'aigraphics Visuaà Communication Ser- ing a vices. lookin -The transformation from a in the rather ordinary small indus- munic trial niall into Visual Arts alread Centre will take several with. months, however the princi- and In pals say the process will an au start immediately. film th.
