The building was initially built in 1964 to support the Apollo program, specifically for assembling and testing spacecraft before their missions to the moon.
It was repurposed to support the Space Shuttle program, where it played a crucial role in processing and preparing the shuttles for launch.

The Neil Armstrong Operations & Checkout Building spans over 400,000 square feet, making it one of the largest facilities of its kind in the world.
