With an area of 10,000 square metres, the centre has a building in the form of a workshop to carry out all kinds of training activities related to the automotive sector (mechanics, robotics, pneumatics etc.), and a total of 39 classrooms. It also has laboratories, technical rooms and changing rooms, as well as other facilities. Once fully operational, it is estimated that it will be able to accommodate up to 14,000 students.
