Boeing has opened its new Engineering Center at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s Research Park in Daytona Beach, Florida. The facility, located within the Cici & Hyatt Brown Center for Aerospace Technology, will support Boeing Defense, Space & Security Air Dominance programs and advanced technology work.
“This engineering center will accelerate Boeing’s work on critical defense programs and deepen our partnership with Embry-Riddle, giving us access to an exceptional talent pipeline and enabling collaboration to drive aerospace innovation,” said Dan Gillian, vice president and general manager of Boeing Air Dominance.
The center spans 65,000 square feet and is anticipated to add approximately 400 jobs in Daytona Beach and Volusia County. Work will include engineering design, research, development, and prototyping.
Mori Hosseini, chairman of Embry-Riddle’s Board of Trustees, said the new facility represents a milestone for the university and for Florida. He credited support from state leaders and local philanthropists for making the project possible.
“In addition to creating high-paying jobs, these collaborations cultivate a dynamic exchange between students, faculty and industry leaders, ensuring innovation thrives at the intersection of education and enterprise,” said P. Barry Butler, Embry-Riddle president.
Alongside the new center, Boeing is investing $100,000 to support STEM programming for the Boys & Girls Club of Volusia/Flagler counties and to provide food for students in need through the Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida.
The Embry-Riddle Research Park has generated nearly 2,000 jobs and more than $372 million in economic impact in Florida.
