HAVE YOU SEEN OUR CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS?
A fun fact: if you measured all of the original external caulking used on the U.S. Air Force Academy Cadet Chapel, it would stretch more than 30 miles. The Academy added caulking soon after the Chapel’s construction as a cost-effective attempt to stop water leaks. This interesting fact and many others were shared during a media tour of Academy infrastructure projects — with AOG and Foundation assistance, about half a billion dollars’ worth.
