Polaris Hall at USAF Academy

The center for Character and Leadership Development. This building is the latest addition to the Academy. The building was paid for by government funds, as well as private donations.
The philosophical intent behind Polaris Hall is embodied in the skylight tower, a glass and steel landmark designed to point toward the sky at 38.83-degrees, toward Polaris, the North Star. It represents a moral compass, symbolizing the Academy's pursuit of excellent and honor.
