144 LUXEMBOURG Esch-sur-Alzette 2006-2010 Banque B.I.L. The Luxembourg offices of the Canadian bank, RBS Investor Services, can accommodate up to 3,000 employees. This flagship building on the southern Belval campus was the first services business to open on this industrial brownfield site. It co-exists with the renovated extinguished blast furnaces, a university, research facilities, offices, retail outlets and residential units. Its enamelled facades are of deep red, a touch that brings to mind the site’s steel-production heritage. The floors leading up to the atrium form a succession of terraces accommodating common services, meeting rooms, restaurants, foyers, and the auditorium. Access to the tower is via panoramic lifts. The atrium is located between two side structures that form two rods pointing towards the street.
