Gribaumont is a Brussels Metro station on line 1 (prior to 4 April 2009 the eastern branch of line 1B). It is located in the municipality of Woluwe-Saint-Pierre / Sint-Pieters-Woluwe and opened on 20 January 1976. It is located under the Avenue de Broqueville and takes its name from the nearby Avenue Louis Gribaumont, named after the landowner who helped develop the area in the 1900s.[1]
In 2008 the original "Pavimento Pirelli" black rubber floor tiles on the platforms were removed. They were replaced with new biscuit-coloured terrazzo tiles, with darker grey tiles nearest to the walls. The platform area overhead lighting was also replaced in late 2008.
