Air Force Academy: Home of the USAFA in Northern El Paso County
The Air Force Academy census-designated place in El Paso County encompasses the United States Air Force Academy campus and the residential areas surrounding it. Located just north of Colorado Springs along Interstate 25, the community has a population of approximately 6,680, most of whom are connected to the academy in some capacity, whether as cadets, active-duty personnel, civilian staff, or family members. The USAFA was established by Congress in 1954, and the campus opened in 1958 on 18,500 acres at the base of the Rampart Range.
The Cadet Chapel is the most recognizable structure on campus and one of the most photographed buildings in Colorado. Designed by Walter Netsch of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and completed in 1962, its seventeen aluminum spires rise 150 feet and have become an architectural symbol of the academy. The chapel accommodates Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, and Buddhist worship spaces under one roof. Visitors can tour the chapel, the Honor Court, and the terrazzo area where cadets march, though access to other parts of the installation requires military authorization.
The surrounding landscape is open grassland transitioning into Gambel oak and ponderosa pine along the foothills. The academy property includes the Falcon Stadium, home to Air Force football, and several hiking and running trails that are open to the public. The Santa Fe Trail, a paved path that runs along the eastern boundary of the installation, connects to a broader network of trails reaching into Colorado Springs and Monument to the north.
