OKLAHOMA CITY \u2013 Metro Technology Centers unveiled $1.8 million in renovations to its aviation campus on Friday that officials said will help advance Oklahoma in the aerospace and aviation industries.<\/p>\n

Renovations at the campus located near Will Rogers World Airport included improvements to practical laboratories and airplane hangars, a new roof and remodeled classrooms, bathrooms and cafeteria.<\/p>\n

The campus houses Metro Tech\u2019s day and evening\u00a0Aviation Maintenance Technician<\/a>\u00a0programs for adult students. The program graduated 73 students in the 2023 budget year, and 79% were placed in the workforce.<\/p>\n

It currently has around 142 students enrolled for education in\u00a0aircraft maintenance<\/a>, with both airframe and powerplant education, which includes aircraft engines.\u00a0High school students<\/a>\u00a0can also enroll in an aerospace maintenance foundations program.<\/p>\n

Michael Branch, the campus site director, said most of the school\u2019s graduates move on to work at Tinker Air Force Base.<\/p>\n

Aaron Collins, superintendent and CEO of Metro Tech, said the aviation campus, established in 1988, helps train employees to work in Oklahoma\u2019s aerospace industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt takes a village to continue to move aerospace forward,\u201d Collins said. \u201cThe state of Oklahoma is known for aviation and aerospace and we need to continue to shout that out \u2026 When people think of quality training and the future of aerospace, we want them thinking of Metro Tech.\u201d<\/p>\n

The $1.8 million renovations for the building were\u00a0 funded through Metro Tech\u2019s Campus Master Plan, and the Airport Trust provided funds to replace the roof. The campus renovations took about one year to complete.<\/p>\n
