A multi-spool gas turbine engine comprises a low pressure (LP) spool and a high pressure (HP) spool independently rotatable about a central axis. The LP pressure spool has an LP compressor and an LP turbine. The HP spool has an HP turbine and an HP compressor. An accessory gear box (AGB) is drivingly connected to the HP spool. The LP compressor is disposed axially between the HP compressor and the AGB. A gear train drivingly couples the LP compressor to the LP turbine. The gear train is integrated to the AGB.
