floorplate removed

A floorplate is removed at the moment when work is completed to remove all or part of an internal floorplate in a building. This operation is usually done to create a high open interior space, possibly to increase storage capacity or to create an atrium or a grand entrance hall. Any number of floors may be involved.

The reverse of this operation occurs when a new floor is added internally.

The event is completion of removal, whether it affects part of a floorplate or several floorplates. Gutting begins identifies the start of broader non-structural removal work, while this event specifically records the completed floorplate change.
