A multi-spool gas turbine engine comprises a low pressure (LP) spool and a high pressure (HP) spool independently rotatable of one another about an engine axis. The LP spool comprises an LP turbine, an LP compressor and an LP shaft. The HP pressure spool comprises an HP turbine, an HP compressor and an HP shaft. The LP turbine is in fluid flow communication with the HP turbine and disposed downstream therefrom. The HP compressor is in fluid flow communication with the LP compressor and disposed downstream therefrom. The LP shaft has an upstream shaft portion extending upstream of the LP turbine to a location upstream of the LP compressor to provide a first power take-off at an upstream end of the engine and a downstream shaft portion extending downstream of the LP turbine to provide a second power take-off at a downstream end of the engine, thereby allowing mounting of a reduction gear box at either end of the engine.
