Harold E. White Aviation Center Previous | Next 11 of 22


The Harold E. White Aviation Center is a state-of-the-art facility which opened with the support of Harold White, local businessman and benefactor. The building includes everything you would need as an aviation major:

  • Flight simulators
  • Dispatch center
  • Maintenance training labs
  • Aviation library
  • Computer lab
  • Classrooms
  • Offices

Adjacent buildings house both flight and maintenance training aircraft if you are interested in aviation maintenance. If you are planning on majoring in aviation flight, you will spend time at the Lewis University Airport and runways, administered by the Joliet Port Authority, that are also directly outside of these buildings.

Next to the Aviation Center, you will not miss the Boeing 737. In July of 1999, Lewis was the recipient of this plane, donated to the University by United Airlines. This Boeing 737 is fully operational and is used by aviation classes for large aircraft operation and familiarization.

If you are an aviation student, you will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of extracurricular activities including:

  • Award winning flight team
  • Aviation management organization
  • National aviation fraternity
