It serves as headquarters of the Air Education and Training Command as well as the Air Force Personnel Center and is known as "the Showplace of the Air Force" because of the Spanish Colonial Revival Style architecture in which all structures including hangars were constructed. The symbol of the base is a large water tower atop Building 100, housing the headquarters for Randolph's major flying unit, the 12th Flying Training Wing. With its distinctive architecture, the wing's headquarters has come to be known throughout the Air Force as "the Taj Mahal", or simply "The Taj".
