| Keystone Architectural Services originally designed a 20,000-square-foot, two-story building for the owner's tenant, the National Finance Corporation. A year later, the tenant had experienced such rapid growth that Keystone designed a 30,000-square-foot addition of the same steel-frame and light-gauge steel stud with brick veneer construction as the original. The addition blends so well there is no hint that there were two different construction dates. The building features an open atrium at the entrance, with skylights and a balcony. The building's owner always had certain questions about the stability of the sole tenant, so Keystone designed the building for the possibility of multiple tenants. For example, restrooms were designed with wraparound fire walls; interior corridors were fire-rated; and core areas were strategically located so that the building could easily be converted to accommodate multiple tenants.
