The Brighton and Hove Bus and Coach Company is ploughing £1.25 million into refurbishing staff facilities at its Lewes Road depot.
The old building which housed offices, a canteen and sports club is being demolished to make way for a two-storey office block with a canteen, a gym and a training centre.
More than 100 drivers, engineers and back-up staff have been recruited by the company over the last three years as bus routes across the city have increased.
The company now employs more than 1,000 people.
Managing director Roger French said: "These facilities will help us provide the best training for our employees as well as facilities for workplace lifelong learning.
"The ground floor will include more space for drivers reporting for work and other offices to meet future expansion plans for the company."
Work has just started on demolition of the building and the new one is to be completed early next year.
