The Oder Family Flight Academy houses state-of-the-art flight simulators that train students in preflight procedures, cockpit familiarization, take-off and landing protocols, and many other necessary aspects of flight while navigating students toward a career in aviation. The flight simulators are approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and allow students to train and gain experience in an accredited flight program. The program also prepares students to take the FAA written and oral examinations.

The design of the classroom brings in elements of airplane hangars for an immersive learning experience. Ribbed acoustic panels on the walls are shaped to look like metal panels. The roof structure is exposed on the interior with suspended downlighting and acoustic panels in the shape of an airplane wing ‘rib’.

Recesses in two walls incorporate iconic airplanes or highlight a specific time in aviation history. A third wall features a long linear recess with a landscape photo, ribbed acoustic panels at the top and bottom, and LED lighting that portrays the opening of a hanger door. Additionally, the flooring incorporates various runway markings to further convey the ‘spirit’ of aviation.
