Facilities

The College of Aeronautics and Engineering expanded its building on the ��Թ� Campus in 2023 to accommodate the ever-increasing number of students enrolling in its programs. The new space opened for students for the 2023 Fall Semester and was made possible in part thanks to a gift from the Timken Foundation of Canton. The building’s new Henry and Louise Timken Atrium (pictured above) was named to honor the couple who were pioneers in flight. The expansion added more than 42,000 square feet and includes adaptable classrooms and research labs as well areas for student engagement and hands-on learning.

These facilities are grouped into Learning and Research Hubs.

The Runway

The Runway is home to three laboratories that support hands-on, simulated training in all three areas of air traffic control: Tower, Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON) and En-Route. The simulation workstations can be used to create any combination of tower, terminal, and en route controller positions, and provide future air traffic controllers with the look and feel of an actual air traffic control facility.
