GE Aviation EPISCENTER at the University of Dayton

Shook-RJE, a joint venture, has been selected as the design-builder for this exciting project in Dayton. GE Aviation will locate a $51 million research center in the Ohio Aerospace Hub on the University of Dayton campus. The 115,000 SF Electrical Power Integrated Systems Research and Development Center (EPISCENTER) will be built on River Park Drive near the intersection of Patterson Boulevard and Stewart Street. The Center will be operational by late 2012 and will work cooperatively with the University of Dayton Research Institute to develop and deploy advanced electric power systems for aviation and aerospace applications.

The GE EPISCENTER is part of the region's Aerospace Hub of Innovation designed to attract and support advanced technology companies.

The GE project is enabled by an Ohio Third Frontier capital grant of up to $7.6 million.

GE Aviation, an operating unit of GE, is a leading provider of jet engines, components and integrated systems for commercial and military aircraft.
