Savannah Tech Breaks Ground on Center

Technical College System of Georgia Commissioner Ron Jackson, Savannah Tech president Kathy Love and Ira Berman of Gulfstream Aerospace were among the dignitaries wielding shovels at the school’s Crossroads campus to kick off construction of the new center. It’s expected to be ready for students beginning with the spring semester next year.

“The Technical College System of Georgia is committed to ensuring that the state’s aviation industries, including corporate leaders like Gulfstream, have access to a steady pipeline of highly trained technicians with the specialized skills that
are required in the fields of aircraft assembly and maintenance,” Jackson says.

“Savannah Tech’s new Aviation Training Center is part of that commitment, and soon it will be home to state-of-the-art training that will lead students on pathways to great jobs and successful careers in this all-important industry.”

The 29,152ft² building will feature a 5,000ft² hangar plus labs and classrooms. The training center will meet Federal Aviation Administration requirements governing aviation mechanic schools.
