Fairfield, CA USA — A new partnership between SCC and the Jimmy Doolittle Air and Space Museum Education and Foundation will result in a new 20-acre museum and annex. The museum and other small facilities will make up 10 acres, while the other 10 will house other educational and restoration facilities, according to a Solano College press release.
The partnership was formed based on the foundation’s idea to construct an interactive space and air museum, and SCC’s desire to move the rapidly expanding school of aeronautics. The museum will be located near the Nut Tree Airport and will specialize in the education of space and air and will feature interactive elements. While the main campus will be in Vacaville, the annex will be located on Travis Air Force Base and will feature an air park.
Both the museum and annex will be open to the public and will not require base access to visit.
