The Standard Life Centre is a 13-storey high-rise building in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.[1] The 62 metre building was completed in 1983,[1] and is part of the Lloyd D. Jackson Square complex.[2]The building was named after the Standard Life Assurance Company of Canada, one of the companies responsible for the development of the Jackson Square complex.[3] The building has since been renamed, and is now officially known as 120 King Street West, but many locals still refer to it as the Standard Life Centre.

Description

The building's exterior facade is comprised of alternating horizontal rows of concrete, and glass windows. The corners of the facade are clad entirely with glass. The interior features a large lobby with granite floors, a security desk, a digital directory, and 2 elevator banks. The low-rise elevator bank, located on the east side of the lobby, features 4 modernized Schindler elevators that serve floors 1 through 6, with one of the elevators serving the underground parking lot. The high-rise elevator bank, located on the West side of the lobby, also features 4 modernized Schindler elevators that serve floors 7 through 11, with one of the elevators serving the underground parking lot, as well as the mechanical floor. All of the elevators from both banks serve the plaza level. The building also feature escalators and stairs that lead from the main level (lobby and mall) to the plaza level. The interior of the Standard Life Centre also features a large central atrium with a fountain at its base, as well as column-free floor plates. The Jackson Square mall, as well as the 3 other office buildings in the complex are accessible from the lobby level. The building features a large common underground parking lot with a capacity of 1300 vehicles.[2]
