The Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA)—which was established in 1953 and committed to growing aviation through participation and education—recently unveiled a new Education Center at their Oshkosh, WI headquarters. The two-story, 30,000-square-foot facility is designed to further develop aviation education and training. With just six months to deliver a fully functioning AV-over-IP system, Arrow AV Group—a family-owned provider and integrator of audiovisual presentation, assisted listening, theatrical lighting, and control technologies—turned to Visionary’s PacketAV Matrix Series.
The $6.2 million project features an innovative Pilot Proficiency Center, a hands-on Youth Education Center and the EAA Conference Center. The Pilot Proficiency Center features a skill-building and training center featuring flight simulators for general aviation pilots. The 15,000-square-foot Young Education Center provides youths, parents and teachers access to interactive and project-based activities that inspire and nurture the next generation of aviators. The corporate events space features small conference rooms and a larger events space that can be configured based on the size and requirements for private events. These mixed-use facilities allow individuals and groups to experience EAA’s resources everyday of the year.
