In 2005, \textit{J.-P. Serre} [Astérisque 299, Exp.~No.~932, 195--217 (2005; Zbl 1156.20313)] formulated the ``Centre Conjecture'', which he attributed to Tits. This conjecture is about a convex subcomplex \(\Omega\) of a spherical building \(\Delta\): either there is a simplex (``centre'') in \(\Omega\) fixed by any automorphism of \(\Delta\) fixing \(\Omega\), or, for every simplex \(A\) in \(\Omega\), there is another simplex in \(\Omega\) which is opposite to \(A\). (This last possibility implies in fact that \(\Omega\) itself is a building). The centre conjecture was proved for classical buildings by \textit{B. Mühlherr} and \textit{J. Tits} [J. Algebra 300, No.~2, 687--706 (2006; Zbl 1101.51004)]. In this paper, the authors give another, very short proof of the conjecture for classical (i.e. of type \(A_n\), \(B_n\), \(C_n\) or \(D_n\)) buildings.
