Local 150's training center is situated on 300-plus acres in Wilmington, IL, about 50 miles south of Chicago. The center boasts 342,000 square feet of space housing an indoor training area, almost 200 pieces of heavy equipment, 30 classrooms, construction material testing lab, state of the art welding facility, equipment simulator lab, a 200-seat auditorium, and much more. Instructors are available to members six days a week, Monday through Saturday, except holidays. The indoor training arena is large enough to allow 18 plus pieces of equipment to operate simultaneously. Also, we are proud partners with OSHA to have established an alliance to advance health and safety training.
