520 _aBritain's first terrorist-proof tower, capable of withstanding aircraft and biological terror attacks, is under construction at Canary Wharf. The 33 storey head office for Barclay's is the first skyscraper to be built in the UK since September 11. The enhanced specifications include more escape staircases, and the air-conditioning intake will be placed on the roof to hinder biological attacks. The tower is due to be completed at the end of 2004.
