Military Science Building (1904-)
In 1940, with the Second World War on the horizon, the college added a Military Science wing to the Field House. The building continues to house both the Army and Air Force ROTC units on campus.

Temporary Buildings (1942-1952)
Unlike WWI, few brick and mortar buildings appeared during WWII. Although less permanent, WWII was no less transformative. The college accommodated soldiers and military trainees by moving Quonset-style buildings from the abandoned Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp up Cub River Canyon near Franklin, Idaho. More than 2,000 trainees received instruction in a variety of programs, including aviation and radio. The Navy Radio School involved the new technology of radar, which required the government to prohibit photography on campus during WWII
Temporary Quonset huts under construction, 1940s.
