It functioned as the
Stock Exchange until 2004 when the
Exchange moved to Paternoster
Square. The building underwent a
major renovation that saw its pre-cast
concrete facade replaced by a glass
curtain wall. According to the
building's Wikipedia page, "...
thousands of square metres of
additional office space (were)
created, including a new 10-storey
building at No. 60 Threadneedle
Street, a six-storey wing to the east,
and a single-storey wing to the
northwest. As part of the renovation,
the floor plates were extended beyond
the perimeter of the original building
to give more overall space. The
renovation scheme was designed by
Grimshaw Architects.
The building has 11 passenger lifts
and one goods lift, as well as
firefighting lifts and vehicle shuttle
lifts."
