Advanced Virtual Engine Test Cell, Inc.
Springfield, Ohio

The new 37,000 SF facility houses state-of-the-art research capabilities, educational classrooms, and office space for virtual testing of aircraft engines. The project was the first phase of construction on the 16-acre site within the larger NextEdge Applied Research and Technology Park. The site boasts connectivity to the state’s Third Frontier fiber optic network and to high performance computing centers across the nation, including US Department of Energy laboratories.

The environmentally sensitive design utilized open drainage swales within the parking lot and included stabilized limestone walking/bike paths to provide an interconnection to the existing systems within the Park.
