Cirrus Aircraft has transformed a 189,000-square-foot building on 39 acres into the new Innovation Center, which includes a larger and more capable Material and Processes Lab, a new Integration Test Lab, an upgraded Advanced Design & Development Lab, and new environmental equipment and testing capabilities, as well as more space for development and testing, according to company officials.

“These new facilities and capabilities enable our engineers, technicians, and researchers to more rapidly design, develop and certify our next generation of Cirrus products in a connected, synergetic environment,” said Ken Harness, senior vice president of product development of Cirrus Aircraft.
