Abstract:
During the last decade, there have been some significant changes in the way major office buildings are designed and built in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Major developers have sought innovative building designs that would give them the edge in the marketplace. A need to provide more flexible office layouts has resulted in a desire for large, open, column-free spaces.
