1659) and the Remote Air Intake Building (J8-1753) provide a supporting function, and
thus, are not considered integral to the important functions of the complex. For similar
reasons, four assets which are listed in the original nomination for the LC 39: Pad B
Historic District are not of exceptional importance within the context of the SSP, and
therefore, are not included in the updated list of contributing resources. These assets
include the Foam Building (J7-242), the Azimuth Alignment Station (J7-537), the
Compressed Air Building (J7-338), and the Remote Air Intake Building (J7-432).
Three assets located within the SLF Area were surveyed and found to be ineligible for the
NRHP. These include the SLF Air Traffic Control Tower (J5-1197), built in 2003; the
Flight Vehicle Support Building (J6-2465), constructed in 2002; and the Convoy Vehicle
Enclosure (T-Shelter) (K6-015), built in 2001. All are of very recent construction and
considered to be minor support facilities within the SLF Area. Therefore, none is
distinguished by its exceptionally significant historical associations with the SSP.
The Logistics Facility (K6-1547), constructed in 1986, is a 324,640 ft 2 general warehouse
which stores more than 200,000 items of Shuttle flight hardware and GSE. It supports
warehousing, procurement, inventory management, logistics engineering, transportation,
packaging, shipping and receiving. The building contains state-of-the-art warehousing
equipment, including an Automatic Parts Retrieval and Storage System. However,
despite these noteworthy features, the Logistics Facility does not possess exceptionally
significant associations with events or persons important in the context of the SSP, and
thus, does not meet the criteria of eligibility for listing in the NRHP.
Three buildings within the Rotation Processing and Surge Facility are considered
ineligible for listing in the NRHP. These include a Support Building (K6-495), Surge
Building #1 (K6-497) and Surge Building #2 (K6-345). All were constructed in 1984.
The Support Building contains office space, and the two surge buildings are used for
storage of SRB segments.
Six assets located within the SRB ARF are considered ineligible for NRHP-listing. Built
between 1986 and 1992, these facilities include the Aft Skirt Test Building (L7-251),
Chiller Building (L6-147), Engineering and Administration Building (L6-146), Service
Building (L6-248), Hazardous Waste Staging Building (L6-295), and Storage Building
(L6-297). All support the operations of the complex, but none is distinguished by its
significant historical associations to events or persons in the context of the SSP.
Hangar N (Facility No. 1728) is used for inspection and non-destructive evaluation of
SRB components. It does not play an exceptional role in the SSP.
The MILA Operations Building (M5-1494) was built in 1966 to support the Apollo
Program. While located at KSC, MILA is owned and operated by Goddard Space Flight
Center. Its primary role is as a backup system during the 7-1/2 minute critical ascent
period, providing a voice, data and telemetry communications link between the Space
Shuttle vehicle and ground operations. It is not essential for routine orbital
