The CFTR has moved to its new facility in 1997 after many years of operation within a constricted environment. The new buildings have been designed to further adapt to the state-of-the-art technology and allow for a better use of the space. Laboratories and simulation rooms have been brought together near the classrooms.

The area intended for practical courses is located near the garages and road circuits. The cleaning and maintenance stations have been grouped together to allow for more space to perform back-up manœuvres and cargo transfers. Driving activities are closely monitored from an observation station, which also overlooks all the road circuits.

Its main area of concentration being professional development, the CFTR is always looking to reflect the reality of the trades found in the road transport industry. The architectural style of the building, which is made of stone and metal, resembles that of an industrial building. Thanks to the renovation and extension of the existing buildings, the site is better suited to carry out the educational and training roles of the Centre.

The Centre is mainly comprised of the following:
 - Seven classrooms
 - A simulation room
 - A computer laboratory
 - A dispatch room
 - A training workshop which can be divided into 2 separate workspaces
 - A training warehouse with 6 loading docks
 - A mechanical workshop
 - A cleaning station
 - A teacher's room
 - A staff room with kitchen
 - A conference room
 - A student cafeteria
 - Two administrative staff rooms.


The total surface area is 3834 square metres.

On the occasion of the contest relating to the 2nd international Florilège for exemplary educational establishments, the Organization for Economical Cooperation and Development (OECD) has awarded the CFTR with a distinction in the category Management and Use of Space. "The international jury acknowledges that the CFTR is one of the best designed educational establishments in the present day", Richard Yelland, Coordinator for the educational equipment and construction program (Paris, autumn 2000).
