DESCRIPTION

The Weapons Handling Equipment Building (completed in 1966) is

located outside the southwest corner of the secure trailer compound. The prefabricated steel-framed building is 40 x 80 x 16-ft. high and is roofed and sided
with corrugated aluminum.

The concrete floor slab of the building can support

a load of 2-tons on four wheels.
The entire building is used for storage except for two 10 x 12 x 8-ft. high insulated offices in the southwest corner. Each office has a wall-mounted air conditioning unit; the warehouse area is not air conditioned. Ventilation is provided
by louvers in the siding and by two roof-mounted rotary gravity ventilators.
Eight skylights and two windows (one in each office) admit natural light. Fluorescent fixtures light the interior, while weatherproof incandescent fixtures light the
exterior doorways.
Receptacles of 110 volt capacity are provided. Power supplied is 120/208 volt,
3 phase, 60 cycle, from Substation No. 1689 in the secure trailer compound.
Two truck doorways consisting of a pair of 8 x 15-ft. high, center opening,
sliding doors are provided on the east and west side of the building. Sloping
concrete ramps, 10 x 18-ft. serve as approach slabs to the doors.
