08 TEXAS SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY ACADEMY FOR AVIATION & ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
DESIGN CONCEPT
The TSU Academy for Aviation and Advanced Technology at the Houston Spaceport takes its inspiration from the initial structure of the Wright Brothers’ planes as well as the sophisticated turbine engines of the Jet liners. These together create a state of the art Education and Training Facility.
The entry facade of the building is inspired by the geometry of the turbine engine. The building elevations are inspired by the Wright Brothers twin Canard Aircrafts.
The TSU Academy at the spaceport will house all the Aviation Education & Training Divisions including:
• Aviation Management, • Aviation Mechanic Program, • Pilot Training and • Drone Training Programs.
The design of the entry facade is inspired by the commercial turbine engines as shown in this image.
The Wright Brothers Twin Canard aircraft inspired the concept for the building elevation.

BUILDING DESIGN CONCEPT
Based on the architectural program table, below is a schematic floor plan layout of the spaces required for the TSU Academy. The classrooms, labs, administration, and shared spaces are designed to be in an air-conditioned, single-story building. The two hangar spaces and the drone cage will have direct access to the apron, located adjacent to the airside runway.

PROPOSED MASTER PLAN
F S Group incorporated the proposed TSU Academy for Aviation & Advanced Technology onto the Houston Spaceport Master Plan. Based on conversations with HAS and the academic/industry partners, it was determined that TSU would need airside access to successfully implement their aviation curriculum. F S Group also intends to create a visible connection between the TSU Academy and the Aerospace Institute HUB.
