The facility provides state-of-the art training devices for all ATA employees and includes 4 full motion flight simulators, aircraft cabin simulators, cabin door training and a water safety training pool. Dining and auditorium spaces support the facility’s 24/7 operation.
The creative design solution separates two, simple, cost-efficient classroom wings with a center atrium. The barrel-vaulted roof shape, suggestive of an airplane hangar, and transparent entry wall provide a high-profile, signature building with minimal costs.
