Belgium’s long-serving NATO headquarters was handed over to the Belgian Ministry of Defense with a ceremony.

The site and the building of the old NATO headquarters in Brussels were returned to the Alliance’s host country Belgium during a small ceremony today (1 September 2020). After the spaces were emptied and the temporary structures removed, the old building was handed over to its owner, the Belgian Ministry of Defence.
“Today we said our last goodbye to our old HQ, which has served NATO well through the decades, and where so many historic decisions were taken by Allies”, NATO’s spokesperson Oana Lungescu said. “We thank Belgium for having lent it to the Alliance for so long, and we are grateful for its continued hospitality in our new Headquarters across the road.”

Built in less than six months in 1966, the old headquarters was planned to be a temporary home for the Alliance when it relocated to Brussels in 1967. However, the building became NATO’s home for 51 years, during which it witnessed many decisions that shaped history

New NATO headquarter

The design of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) headquarters evokes fingers woven into a symbolic union buckle, given its mission ranging from counter and prevention to unification and integration. The building provides security and privacy at the embassy level to each member state, while also offering common areas where delegates can meet. The new headquarters is built opposite the existing building on an area of ​​40 hectares. The headquarters will be able to accommodate 4,500 employees in a 250,000 m² functional area spread over 7 floors. The facilities of the headquarters are designed to accommodate 120,000 m² of office space, a conference center with state-of-the-art meeting rooms, media and restaurant facilities, a bank, sports and recreational facilities, a staff center, a technical building for energy supply and warehouses and workshops. In the building design, a series of innovative solutions such as photovoltaic cells, green roofs, cooled plates and natural ventilation have been used together in accordance with the sustainable design concept.
