Topic: Will this roof fail?

I have to build a room that is 15' wide and 8' high from floor to ceiling. It is an L shaped concrete building with the outside wall length of 35' on both sides. I need to build it with a slab roof about 4-5" thick perhaps. Is it possible to place just columns on the corners only and not within perceivable space to support the slab roof and what would the column dimensions be ?
