Peter Beardsley's Under-21 players were based at the first-team's training complex.
But Benitez, the relegation-threatened club's new manager, felt the club's Benton HQ was too crowded.
And the Under-21s have been moved to the adjoining Academy complex at Little Benton by Benitez, whose side are 19th in the Premier League table and odds-on to be relegated.
Beardsley's players had to move out of their dressing room to the another changing room at the Academy last week.
