Maybe, but it was already repaired after 20 years or so, spending at the time something like half the original construction costs (without considering inflation):

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centre_Pompidou

Original constructions costs (opened 1977): 993 Million Francs > 151 M Euro

Renovation (1996-2000): 576 Million Francs > 88 M Euro

Next renovation (2025-2030): 200 M Euro

I presume that a relevant part of this costly renovation is connected with removing asbestos from the outer shell:
