The Académie des Beaux-Arts made use of various premises across the city since its foundation in 1972. That constant relocation of students and staff now comes to an end. The City of Brussels decided to completely renovate 2 buildings at the Rue du Poinçon:

• an old building that survived the bombing of 1695 by Louis XIV
• a building on the corner of the Rue du Poinçon and the Rue d'Accolay that served as a refectory

The first building was completely renovated to the current A wing for teaching visual arts. The second building has been renovated and is now wing B for general subjects. There is also a new gymnasium, so that students no longer have to travel to the Palais du Midi for their lessons.
