The new glass ceiling located in the atrium of the Windsor building in Montreal is the result of an intensive new design process which allows the occupation of the floor of this very large space to have natural sunlight. The metal structure and the suspended glass installed at the 5th floor level perform several functions; they support the sprinkler system and also allow for the control of the smoke and the sunlight. Since November 2008, the firm Valeurs Mobilières Desjardins occupies these new premises and uses the floor of the atrium as a trading floor.
