Guimarães Announces €5-Million Investment to Build New Hospitality School

15 January 2021

The municipality of Guimarães announced that it would invest in the construction of the Cávado e Ave Polytechnic Institute (IPCA) hotel school. The total investment is forecast to reach more than five million euros, and the municipality wants the project to start by the end of the year, with no deadline for completion as of yet.

The project will be launched in the first months of 2021. In the former Quinta do Costeado in Cruz de Pedra, the existing manor house in will be converted into a hospitality training facility, leaving a reduced number of accommodations to be used for students looking to put their learning at the Polytechnic Institute of Cávado and Ave to practical use. Simultaneously, there are plans for the construction of a new kitchen in former winery and stables to boost the school’s training facilities.

The new school will have four aboveground floors and one below ground.
