Boeing has cut the ribbon on a new engineering center at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s Research Park. The Boeing Engineering Center, housed inside the Cici & Hyatt Brown Center for Aerospace Technology, became fully operational September 10, 2025. At 65,000 square feet, the space will serve as a hub for design, prototyping and advanced research tied to Boeing Defense, Space & Security’s Air Dominance portfolio. “This day represents an important milestone for Boeing, Embry-Riddle and the broader Daytona Beach community,” said Dan Gillian, Vice President and General Manager of Boeing Air Dominance. Boeing claims that the Daytona Beach center reflects both strategic needs and long-term planning.
