StructEngBrah: the new columns are located in side partition walls. thank you for the attachment.

Hi all,
I'm working on steel structure building restoration and change of use, and facing the following situation:
The existing open web steel joists (22H6) are not good to carry the new live load and I have to add steel beam in the middle to cut the span. please see sketch.
My question...
