The Casa de la Juventud (Youth House) in Antequera is expected to be finished in February 2011.
The building is located in a building near the Plaza de Toros where the Red Cross used to be.
The €200,000 project is being financed by the Instituto Andaluz de la Juventud (IAJ) and the company Covalco has already started work on the project.
The Casa de la Juventud integrates training, information, entertainment and participation by young people and groups representing young people in Antequera will have a say in its management and programming of activities related to theatre, cinema, arts and music.
The refurbishment works will result in the building having a library, a counselling area, workshops and an exhibition hall. Facilities will include wireless, computers and projectors. Outside is an area of 300 square metres which will also be renovated at some time in the future.
