Buddhist chapel

The Cadet Chapel now has a Buddhist worship area in a room on the same level as the Jewish chapel. I believe it was formerly one of the all-faith rooms. Here's an NPR article: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=113501618 Could someone add a little tidbit on this? --Libertyernie2 (talk) 03:26, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Number of spires

A visitor representative at the Chapel said that she just finished reading a biography about Netsch, and she said that Netsch's original plan was to the Chapel to have 21 spires, but then reduced that to 19, which was then cut back (for budgetary reasons) to 17. Can anyone else confirm that? Also, it should be mentioned that the Chapel roof leaks, because Congressional cutbacks chose caulking around the stained glass windows, rather than the aluminum flashing that Netsch had prescribed. Again, I don't have a source for that, other than the visitor guide. - Percolaytor (talk) 20:49, 20 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Clear aluminum"

I removed the word "clear" from the phrase "clear aluminum," which was meant in the way the term is used in the architectural industry-- that is, aluminum that is not painted or color-anodized-- to avoid confusion with common usage in which "clear" means "transparent." Certainly there is no use of ALON ceramic or anything like that. Before making the change I checked online to see if any other web pages had described this aspect of the building's construction and found this page, which has much of the same language used in the article:

NATIONAL HISTORIC LANDMARK NOMINATION, UNITED STATES AIR FORCE ACADEMY, CADET AREA

It appears that page (from 2004) predates this article (created 2008), but as the page is from a government website there may be a Fair Use rationale for the text appearing here. I'll leave that for someone else to deal with. 71.197.166.72 (talk) 03:08, 21 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
