The Berlaymont Building, the headquarters of the European Commission, is one of the most important government buildings in the European District of Brussels. Originally, the site of the building was occupied by the convent of the Dames du Berlaymont, which has since moved to Waterloo. A new structure measuring 240,000m² across 18 floors was erected between 1963 and 1969.
From 1967 to 1991, 3,000 Commission officials worked there. After the discovery of asbestos, a full renovation was required. Tectum Group completed the roof renovation between 2003 and 2004. The Commission reoccupied the building in 2004.
