The site of the new headquarters has an interesting history. It was the location of Belgium’s first airfield, in 1908.
When German forces occupied Belgium in 1915, it became a Zeppelin hangar. During World War Two, the site was
occupied again, and bombed by both German and Allied forces. During construction works on the new headquarters
in 2010 and 2011, four pieces of unexploded ordnance were discovered
