Will Add To Academic Building, New Advance Simulator Facility
Aviator College of Aeronautical Science & Technology has announced plans to expand their Fort Pierce, Florida campus. The expansion, projected to cost nearly $4 million, is part of Aviator’s strategic growth plan and will include a multi-faceted construction project.
“We are excited to announce this incredible expansion at our Fort Pierce campus,” said Michael Cohen, Founder and President of Aviator College. “As we continue to grow to meet the demands of the aviation industry and our increasing student body, we are also expanding the variety of programs we offer. The aviation industry is currently estimating a severe shortage of pilots and maintenance technicians as the baby boomer population ages out and retires. We plan to do our part to meet those needs.”
Expansion plans include adding 5,000 square feet to Aviator’s academic building. The current 24,000 square foot academic building is a modern two-story building that houses the classrooms, flight simulator, learning resource center, FAA testing center, library, pilot shop, bookstore and Administrative offices. Additional expansion plans include adding 18,000 square feet for a new Airframe Power Plant Technician Training facility, building a new advanced simulator building to house flight simulators and adding additional college campus housing. Groundbreaking will take place in early 2019. With the expansion of the College, approximately 20 new positions will be created.
