Engineering Garage & Robotics Hangar
Where Engineering Takes Flight
Big ideas need room to thrive. Anticipated to open in Spring 2027 on the southwestern edge of Biola’s campus, the new engineering garage and robotics hangar will add more than 6,400 square feet of professional-grade space for Biola's technology and engineering programs. Students will prototype racing vehicles, autonomous systems, aerial drones and advanced robotics in environments designed for collaboration, iteration and breakthrough innovation — preparing ethical Christian leaders to shape tomorrow’s tech landscape.
Engineering Garage
- 2,690 square feet
- Machine shop and office

- Large garage bay for vehicle design and testing (Baja racing vehicles, F1-style cars)
Robotics Hangar
- 3,800 square feet
- Two classrooms / meeting rooms
- Large open bay for drone testing, robotics and self-driving vehicles
- Flexible layout to support autonomous systems and multidisciplinary collaboration
Engineering for the Future
As innovation accelerates across land and air transportation technologies — including autonomous vehicles, drones, and AI-driven systems — Biola's tech students will gain the experience needed to contribute meaningfully in rapidly evolving industries.
Through résumé-building, students develop real-world skills while integrating faith — emerging as wise, humble leaders ready for global impact in robotics, aerospace, mechanical engineering and beyond.
Be empowered to innovate boldly — input faith and excellence, output greater influence.
"In this moment of extraordinary change, we need leaders who not only understand innovation, but who are guided by wisdom, humility and conviction."
