The EIB and EIF have their head office buildings (East and West) next to each other on the Kirchberg Plateau in Luxembourg. The East building presents the following characteristics:
Ten levels, approximate dimensions: 170 metres long, 50 metres wide and 22 metres high
Gross global floor surface: approximately 72 500 m², of which 40 500 m² above ground level. The new East building’s main entrance is on level 4, the main connection with the present West building is on level 3.
None of the EIB sites are located close to protected areas (Natura 2000) or areas of high biodiversity value or proclaimed conservation areas such as wetlands (Ramsar Convention on Wetlands, 1971). Only the Kirchberg campus is situated within the range of vision of the ‘Kuebebierg natural reserve'; however, no impact on this reserve can be stated, as it is not located in direct proximity.
