Vo-Tech Heliport

Administrative and educational changes. The heliport was part of the Tulsa Technology Center and was likely decommissioned because it was no longer considered essential for the curriculum of its Aviation Maintenance Technician program. The operational costs, insurance, and liability of maintaining an active heliport likely outweighed its direct educational benefits as training methods evolved.

The site is still part of the active Tulsa Technology Center - Broken Arrow Campus. The physical concrete helipad, including the painted 'H' marking, remains visible on the south side of the campus grounds. However, it is no longer used for any aviation operations. The area is now utilized as general open space, outdoor instructional area, or for vehicle and equipment staging for other vocational programs at the school.

The Vo-Tech Heliport was a private, special-purpose facility that served exclusively as a hands-on training ground for the Tulsa Technology Center's (Tulsa Tech) Aviation Maintenance Technician program. Its function was to provide students with practical experience in helicopter ground handling, marshalling, pre-flight and post-flight inspections, engine run-ups, and other ground-based maintenance procedures in a realistic environment. It played a significant local role in vocational education, preparing a skilled workforce for Tulsa's large aviation and aerospace industry.

None. There are no known plans or public discussions about reopening or re-certifying the heliport. The Tulsa Tech aviation program continues to operate successfully without it, indicating the facility is considered obsolete for their current training requirements. Reopening is highly improbable.
