Antelope Valley College officially opened its aerospace teaching facility at Fox Field on Friday with an outdoor ceremony near the 10,000 square-foot hangar, composites lab, computer lab, and classroom and office space used for the program.
AV College is the only community college in California to offer this type of facility for hands-on learning.
AV College’s aerospace certificated programs began more than 20 years ago with the Aeronautical and Aviation Technology, or AERO, Program. The program, approved by the FAA, is designed for students who are interested in working on US registered aircraft and continues to be a launch paid for students who succeed in aerospace careers.
