EDUCATION & TRAINING CENTER

Base Education & training center upcoming renovations

We are excited to announce that the Base Education Center, Building 252, will soon be undergoing extensive renovations to transform into a state-of-the-art facility, poised to become the new focal point for Education, Training and Professional Development. Upon its completion, our revamped facility will proudly accommodate the Base Education & Training Offices, Base Library, Airmen Leadership School, and Professional Development Center, offering enhanced services and resources to our community.

As we embark on this journey, we want to ensure transparency and provide clarity on how these changes will impact our current offerings:

1. Transition of Classroom Space: Please note that classroom space for meetings and trainings will no longer be available through the Base Education Center.

2. Temporary Conversion of On-base Classes to Virtual Campuses: On-base, in-person classes offered in collaboration with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Hillsborough Community College, and Saint Leo University have transitioned to virtual campuses, ensuring uninterrupted access to education opportunities during the renovation.

3. Temporary Relocation of On-Base School Offices: On-site offices for Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Hillsborough Community College, and Saint Leo University have relocated to the Base Education Office, Bldg. 252, Room 117.
