MTSU Aerospace Dedicates New Flight Simulator Building

Facility Located At Murfreesboro, TN Airport

MTSU students are the beneficiaries of a new $700,000 Department of Aerospace Flight Simulator Building dedicated Thursday, May 5, at Murfreesboro Airport.

Accompanied by aerospace faculty and staff and other university administrators, President Sidney A. McPhee led the tributes to the 3,600-gross-square-foot metal facility that will house four flight simulators at MTSU’s Flight Operations Center just off Memorial Boulevard.

Other features include a classroom, six briefing rooms, bathrooms and infrastructure to support spaces. The design of the building lends itself to future expansion in three directions, and the profile of the building’s roof is inspired by the profile of an aircraft wing.
