Completed in November 1990, this building took two years to construct and cost $13.8 million. In the opening ceremony, the building was dedicated to Alabama senator Lister Hill, known affectionately as the "godfather of Maxwell." Senator Hill, who died in 1984, used his political influence to bring the Air Corps Tactical School to Maxwell Field. With its red tile roof and stucco-like walls, this modern building was designed to be compatible with the historic buildings at Maxwell AFB. It is said to be the largest single building with a tile roof in the United States. It serves as the headquarters of the 42nd Air Base Wing.
