Innovation Way creates a dynamic learning environment with flexible and adaptable teaching and research lab spaces and will provide a truly unique and impactful set of facilities enabling students to understand the entire engineering design and manufacturing enterprise.
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.
Philanthropic support is more than simply important; it is essential if we are to make this vision for our students - and greater community - a reality.
The bottom line is simple: We need supporters who share our understanding of the facility's importance - and our vision for the College of Aeronautics and Engineering's dynamic future - to lean forward and say "yes" to a project that is important and transformative.
