Project Goals

1. New Space The project revolves around the primary plan to expand the chapter clubhouse footprint. The new space will facilitate larger members meetings, help us host our events, and provide additional amenities that provide value to our members and the aviation community. For more details, check out the Design page.
   
   
2. Improved Functionality We want to create a versatile space that caters to a wide range of aviation-related activities like our flyins, youth programs, workshops, as well as our regular gatherings. With this expansion, we hope that it will allow for future improvements, including a dedicated showcase of our achievements, and highlight the success of our member. The future phases will also consider accommodations to enhance our meeting room to improve on the acoustics and comfort for our members.
   
   
3. Community Engagement Our vision is to strengthen the aviation community by offering a welcoming place for enthusiasts to connect, share knowledge, and collaborate at the EAA.
