open floor plate

with a surface area of approximately 1,000 m²

See reference:
"Trading floors this size generally require a 50,000-s.f. open floor plate, but the building had only 20,000 s.f. per floor"
Peer comment(s):

agree Bourth (X) : Agree in principle, but "floor plate" has other meanings: in Eurospeak, it is a "prédalle" (permanent floor shuttering); and it is also a steel plate embedded in concrete floors.
