SALINA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas State University has partnered with Westar Energy to build one of the largest enclosed flight facilities for unmanned aircraft systems in the nation.

The university said in a news release Wednesday that the UAS Pavilion on Kansas State’s campus in Salina aims to allow students to conduct flight training and research. It also gives outside industries an arena for company training.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony is planned for Oct. 21 on Kansas State’s Salina campus.

Kansas State Salina was the second university in the nation to offer a bachelor’s degree in UAS, and has doubled its enrollment in the program every year since it began in 2011. This fall the university added a second bachelor’s degree in drone design and integration.

Westar is interested in using drones for infrastructure inspections.
