A brother of François Marie Théodore Labrouste. He studied with Vaudoyer and Lebas, entered the École des Beaux Arts in 1819, and won the Premier Grand Prix de Rome in 1824. His envoie de Rome on the temples of Piestum was published by the French government in 1884. In 1832 he was made inspector of the works at the École des Beaux Arts under Duban. Between 1843 and 1850 he built the Bibliothèque S. Geneviève, Paris. From 1855 to 1875 he was architect of the Bibliothèque Nationale, completed there the improvements begun by Robert de Cotte, and built the great reading room and the facade on the Rue Richelieu with the pavilion on the corner of the Rue des Petits Champs. Labrouste was made inspecteur général des édifices diocésains in 1857, and inspecteur general du conseil des bâtiments civils in 1865. In 1831 he opened an architectural school (atelier), which produced many prominent architects.
