about the atc

Our History


In the early 1990's, much like today, Indianapolis was preparing for hundreds of new jobs in the aviation industry. The Aviation Technology Center, a state-of-the-art maintenance facility, was developed on 32 acres of Indianapolis International Airport property when Vincennes University was invited to train future aviation employees.

The Aviation Technology Center was designed to allow you to experience every aspect of the aviation industry and is home to some of the most advanced aviation labs, testing equipment and fully operational maintenance hangars. The ATC is home to the only fully functioning 737 under roof in the country.

In 2010, the Vincennes University Flight Program joined the Maintenance Program in Indianapolis, operating ground school classes and flight simulation at the Aviation Technology Center. Our fleet of aircraft is based at the Eagle Creek Airpark, just a few miles from Indianapolis International.
