The center is located in the old tannery of Pontepedriña de Arriba (O Avío), on the banks of the Sarela. It is an old tanning factory that dates back to the eighteenth century and has an adjacent land, which adds, together with the building, a total of 23,000 square meters. The rehabilitation works preserved the construction typology of the area, adapting the tanning factory to the new uses it has as a training center. This center is the first in Spain aimed at specialized training and job retraining for construction workers and companies, in the area of rehabilitation in different specialties such as wood, stonework, forging or metal.
In these facilities is located the Headquarters of the Territorial Council of Galicia, including: the Training Center of the Santiago area and the departments of Training, Health and Safety, Communication and Administration of Galicia. It is here that the training provided throughout Galicia and the services related to the area of Health and Safety and Employment are planned and coordinated.
