ay. The remainder of the north wing contains various storage spaces, small-parts assembly areas, and general office areas. The south wing of the Manufacturing Building measures approximately 252 ft in length (eastwest), 120 ft in width (north-south), and 44 ft in height, overall. Immediately south of the high bay is a two-story space that extends for the entire length of the high bay, and opens into the high bay (i.e., it is separated only by columns). The air-bearing floor of the high bay extends into this space, which measures 30 ft in width and stands 28 ft in height. At the western end is an Assembly and Checkout Area, followed by an off-line assembly area, and, at the eastern end, a queing area. The southwestern corner of the wing contains small-parts work areas, shops, and labs on the ground floor; office and control rooms on the mezzanine level; and office and data areas on the second floor. To its east is the Thermal Protection System (TPS) spray preparation area, which measures approximately 90 ft by 35 ft, and stands 28 ft (two stories) in height. This area has a metal rolling door on its north wall and a set of metal steps on its east wall, which leads to the mezzanine-level control room. Like the high bay, it has an air-bearing floor. To the east of this area are three rooms, each of which measures roughly 30 ft by 30 ft. The northern and southern rooms are spray cells, which stand two stories in height and have air-bearing floors. Both cells have a metal rolling door on their west and east walls. The central room is a singlestory space, 28 ft in height, used for mixing the TPS material. It has a pair of metal swing doors on its west and east wall, as well as a single metal swing door on its north and south wall. Above the room, on the mezzanine level, is the control room for the spray booths. To the east of these cells is the 90-ft by 30-ft Cure Preparation Area, which stands two stories high. It has an air bearing floor, a metal rolling door on its north wall, and a set of metal stairs in the central west wall, which leads to the mezzanine-level control room. To the east of this area is a block of three cells, each of which measures 30 ft by 30 ft, stands two stories in height, and has an air bearing floor. The northern cell is the topcoat application room. It has a metal rolling door on its east wall, and a control room at its northwest corner, which projects into the Cure Preparation Area. The southern two cells contain cure ovens, and each has a metal rolling door on its west and east walls. At the southeast corner of the south wing is the TPS finish area, which measures approximately 90 ft by 50 ft and stands two stories in height. It also has an air bearing floor, and contains a metal rolling door and a metal swing door in its north wall. At the second floor level, above all of these two-story areas, are offices, lab, and equipment rooms. The resource boundary extends from the footprint of the SRB ARF Manufacturing Building, approximately 10 feet, which includes all necessary components historically required to support its functions. SIGNIFICANCE: The SRB ARF Manufacturing Building is considered individually eligible for listing in the NRHP in the context of the U.S. Space Shuttle Program (1969-2010) under Criterion A in the area of Space Exploration. Because it has achieved significance within the past 50 years, Criteria Consideration G applies. The period of significance for the SRB ARF Manufacturing Building is from 1986, the date of its dedication, through 2010, the designated end of the Space Shuttle Program. The Space Shuttle Program is the longest running American space program to date. Unlike the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo programs, the emphasis was on cost effectiveness and reusability, as well as the construction of a space station. As a manufacturing, processing and assembly facility for SRB non-motor components, the Manufacturing Building plays a vital role in preparing the Space Shuttle launch vehicle for flight. The construction of this complex allowed the work on these SRB components to be consolidated into one facility, rather than at various facilities, such as the VAB and Hangar AF. The SRB ARF Manufacturing Building produces and refurbishes the forward and aft skirts, the frustums, and other small components, essential to the reusability of these parts, a key feature of the Space Shuttle Program.
As such, the SRB ARF Manufacturing Building is of exceptional importance to the Space Shuttle Program, and because it is less than 50 years in age, Criteria Consideration G applies. INTEGRITY: The Manufacturing Building is in excellent condition and maintains its integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association.
