The Rotation/Processing Building was designed by Daniel Mann Johnson and
Mendenhall in 1982 and constructed in 1984. Located to the east of Kennedy Parkway,
on the north side of Launcher Road., it is part of the RPSF, a complex of four buildings
which also includes two Surge (storage) Buildings and a Support Building. The
Rotation/Processing Building was specifically constructed in support of the Space Shuttle
Program for the purpose of rotating and inspecting the SRB segments, an operation
originally performed in High Bay 4 of the VAB.
