I think one building does make the USAFA beautiful - the chapel building (although it is much more than a chapel). It is modern like the Air Force, spiky like the mountains, and sets off all the flat buildings of the campus.
U of Colorado is not known for its old buildings but for all the modern ones built of the same stone and roofs. My daughter really likes it because it is uniform. She liked the USAFA. She wasn’t crazy about Florida Southern because some of the buildings are Frank Lloyd Wright and some are old southern buildings with columns. Messy.
