Construction began in spring 1941 on this Works Progress Administration project and was completed by legislative appropriations after the WPA was disbanded.
The building — faced with limestone from old Snow Hall, demolished in 1934 — was completed Nov. 1, 1943.
It houses the Reserve Officer Training Corps programs of the the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, and the U.S. Navy; a rifle range and artillery storage; a drill room; classrooms; and offices.
