In September 1958, following the near completion of the cadet area, the cadets moved to the campus north of Colorado Springs.  The Cadet Area ranks among the most significant collection of modernist buildings commissioned by a federal agency during the post-World War II era.  Designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, the architectural firm utilized many technological advances developed specifically by the military during the war.  The buildings, especially the Chapel, stirred a national debate in Congress, professional journals, and the media.
