Mall Retail (Cambridge Centre, Conestoga, Fairview)

St. Jerome’s has some of these; but in building their new building they inexplicably cut an existing one short so that it doesn’t reach the new building. This proves it’s not about cost; they paid extra to remove an existing roof!

So, if it isn't the cost, then what is it? I'm sure it's not as inexplicable as one might think.

I'm only speculating, but maybe it has to do with something in the building code. Like this from section 3.2.3.19: "Except as required by Sentence 3.2.3.20.(2), if buildings are connected by a walkway, each building shall be separated from the walkway by a fire separation with a fire-resistance rating not less than 45 min."

But I am not an architect, engineer, building inspector, or hardware specialist of any kind, so maybe that isn't it.
