Dutchess Community College broke ground on a new experiential lab and classroom hangar at Hudson Valley Regional Airport. The facility will provide a state-of-the-art learning environment for DCC aviation students, as well as experiential lab space for a fixed-base operator and maintenance facility serving the airport. The College’s current pilot and aviation management associate degree programs will be located in the building, and it is anticipated that by January 2021 – pending FAA, state and SUNY approvals – the facility also will house a 12-month Airframe and Powerplant Maintenance certification program, which is expected to draw new students from throughout the northeast.
