Explore the Simulator Building The Simulator Building is where students in the professional flight program become prepared to take flight in five airplane simulators. The second floor houses an air traffic control simulator room that mimics a live air traffic control tower. Other laboratories for the engineering programs are also located here, so students get practical experience in building automotive, aeronautical and manufacturing technologies. Faculty and staff offices are located on the second floor.
ASU has a reputation for excellence and is repeatedly ranked No. 1. U.S. News & World Report ranks 82 ASU degree programs as top 25 in the nation, with 37 of those in the top 10. Backed by these rankings, the degree you earn from ASU will have the power to take you wherever you want to go in life.

Quake 2008
Earthquakes in the south of Iceland in may 2008.
A powerful earthquake (6, 3 Richter scale) struck the Southern part of Iceland at 15:45 on the 29th of May in 2008. The epicenter of the quake was about two kilometers southeast of Hverageri. The earthquake was widely felt across Iceland, from Reykjavk all the way to safjrur in the West fjords. The Civil Protection Department immediately announced highest alert (distress phase) in Hverageri and neighboring area as a huge after quake was expected. The area closest to the epicenter of the quake suffered severe damage of houses and contents as this was being thrown around in the earthquake.
The exhibition in Hverageri presents the causes and the huge impact the earthquake 2008 causes in Hverageri. The exhibition shows the experience of residents, how it affected the buildings, local environments and other damage. Television screens show the recordings from surveillance cameras, photographs taken by the locals and information from The Earthquake Engineering Research Centre. At the exhibition visitors can experience a powerful earthquake (+6 Richter) in an earthquake simulator. An earthquake crack that was encountered at the building site in 2003 is visible in the floor and is illuminated up for visitors.
Access to the exhibition is free but fee is taken for the earthquake simulator.
