Square – Brussels Meeting Centre is the name of a convention center in Brussels, Belgium. It is run by the GL Events〔(GL remporte la gestion du Palais des Congrès de Bruxelles pour 27 ans )〕 group and situated in cultural and historic district of Brussels near the national and international institutions, overlooking the city from the hillside of the Mont des Arts. ==History== Square – Brussels Meeting Centre is housed in the former Palais des Congrès, which was designed by Jules Ghobert and Maurice Hoyoux and built in 1958 for the World's fair. Managed at the time by the National Congresses Service, the Palais des Congrès consisted of several subterranean spaces, including 1,200-seat and 300-seat auditoria, plus rudimentary exhibition spaces.〔(Le Palais des Congrès de Bruxelles )〕 Although upgraded both technologically and aesthetically in 1978, the infrastructure of the palace aged through the 1980s and 1990s. Several financial difficulties, together with the discovery of asbestos, eventually closed the Palais’ doors in 2003. In late 2004, the management of the centre was transferred to the newly created Palais des Congrès plc. By July 2005, the company’s business and renovation plans were drawn up and approved, and funds were released. During two and half years, the Palais was thoroughly refurbished and expanded. The Palais des Congrès plc finalized an agreement for the management of SQUARE with the GL Events group. The brand-new Square – Brussels Meeting Centre opened its doors at 20:09 on 20.09.2009 with a public party.〔(Inauguration du Square Brussels (L’Avenir) )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Square – Brussels Meeting Centre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
