Situated near Silvanus temple, the building (25 * 13.40 m), is rising on a surface where was a wooden building. Build from stones - the glass blowers workshop - was the object of several extensions and rearranging. Inside the rooms were several ovens for glass preparing and processing. In this building were also discovered the remains of a bread oven and a room, annexed to that, probably a cereals storehouse.

In the front of the workshop, on the South side is a porch, proof being six socles for its columns bases.
