A few civil aviation projects that Figurr has worked on include the 116,000 square foot JetBlue Airways Training Centre in Orlando, Florida. The program for this turnkey project includes administrative offices and space for flight simulators, flight training centres, two training cabins and a pool for life raft exercises. We also designed a 94,000 square foot Flight Training Centre for Air Canada at Toronto's Pearson International Airport to support Air Canada's expanding fleet of commercial aircraft. This 3-storey facility accommodates full flight simulators, state-of-the-art IPT devices, associated virtual learning environments, and traditional classroom education, as well as support spaces and administrative offices. We also have experience working in private facilities such as the Aero Toy Store in Dorval, Quebec. This facility houses pre-owned business jets preparing for resale.
Over the past 30 years, we have learned a lot about international travel from our civil aviation partners. One of the most exciting things about this industry is its evolution. Technology is constantly changing, and the need for innovation is critical. We work with partners on the cutting edge of travel. Unmanned flights, electrical vehicle takeoff and landing, and space travel – the future is always bringing new ideas. Today we're working with partners focused on sustainability and green technology, including an emphasis on net-zero and carbon-neutral design, as well as low emissions technology – the future of aviation is green. From our first project to our most recent one, we have stayed on top of the industry changes and are thrilled to continue serving our clients and addressing their needs.
The team at Figurr feels privileged to support the air transportation industry through our work. In honour of International Civil Aviation Day, we're reviewing our global projects, including feasibility studies, design, and full construction projects.
