He did not actually build the Sistine Chapel, he only painted the ceiling. He was forced to paint it by the nobles, king, and some middle class people of the time. He was very reluctant to take on such a challenge, but he did complete it, allegedly blind in the end.
The conclave took place in the Sistine Chapel of the Vatican.

Michelangelo painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel between 1508 and 1512, a process that took about four years. He was commissioned by Pope Julius II and faced numerous challenges, including the physical demands of working on scaffolding high above the chapel floor. The ceiling features a series of intricate frescoes, including the iconic "Creation of Adam."
The Sistine Chapel takes its name from Pope Sixtus IV (1471-1484) who had the old Cappella Magna restored between 1477 and 1480. The Chapel is a Catholic church in which any Catholic rite like Mass, marriage, baptism may take place. In addition, the Conclave for the election of a new Pope is held in the Chapel. Pope John Paul II spoke of the Sistine Chapel: "Precisely here, in this sacred space, the Cardinals gather, awaiting the manifestation of the will of Christ with regard to the person of the Successor of St Peter. And here, in a spirit of obedience to Christ and trusting in his Mother, I accepted the election that sprung from the Conclave, declaring my readiness to serve the Church." http://vaticanart.net/painting-of-the-sistine-ceiling
It seems he did. The commission was from 1506. But what MIchelangelo did before starting work in 1508 we do not know.
The conclave takes place in the Vatican City, specifically in the Sistine Chapel. This is where the College of Cardinals gathers to elect a new pope. The chapel is sealed off from the outside world during the voting process to ensure privacy and security.
