The new Aviation Education Facility will include a 22,000-square-foot aircraft hangar, as well as training and classroom space, an above-ground aviation fuel tank, vehicle parking and a 20,000 square foot apron, also referred to as the “tarmac.”“We are honored to be the first tenants in this new lease space,” said Terence Fontaine, TSU’s executive director of aviation.
