JE Dunn is currently renovating the Historic U.S. Air Force Academy Cadet Chapel in Colorado Springs, CO. Considered one of the most recognized icons in the U.S. and most visited Colorado landmark, the Cadet Chapel was built in 1963 and designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill of Chicago. It was named a U.S. National Historic Landmark in 2004 and is home to six worship spaces; a 1,950-pipe organ; and a 4,518-pipe organ. The Chapel is 150 feet tall and is most known for its 17 metal spires, or tetrahedrons, enclosed with aluminum panels and Dalles de Verre Glass. It includes a Protestant chapel, a Catholic chapel, a Jewish synagogue, a Muslim Mosque, a Buddhist temple, a Falcon Circle, and All Faiths rooms. JE Dunn constructed a super structure over the Chapel to protect the building from weather as they disassembled the structure for refurbishing. The organs, pews, and stained-glass windows were removed for refurbishment, preserving all original pieces and the history of the Chapel.
