Was that insulation (a termite superhighway) on the curtain wall? Never saw batt insulation on a curtain wall before.

Since Kenny hasn't provided the information, I believe we are all (at least Mark and I) under the impression that there is a load bearing/structural wall directly below that they rest on.

Those trusses are designed for their own bearing wall, that is why they both have that vertical chord.
Plus, most likely it is a modular, so the wall is there. Wouldn't make any sense otherwise.
The double wall would have been noticable by the thickness of one of the corridor walls at the interior, and the main floor girder would have been a four membered unit. Can't tell from the picture.

Agreed, but Kenny has not yet confirmed this.
