We have them too where I work there is a space of about 18" below them where
we run all the cables .
They're not too tight -fitting but you need a double suction cup device to
lift them. Some of the tiles - in the posher areas- are top-lined with
carpet instead of lineoleum. Metal edges and supported on all four corners
by metal pillars.

pillars to the floor where the braces met (which was under the corners
of the tiles).
I've worked in an office which had those too, so you're not alone. They
were very tight fitting too, and needed a couple of big suction-cups to
lift them up. They could take one hell of a weight though.
In my case the building probably dated from around 1980.
