KANSAS CITY PLANT
KEY FACILITIES
Main Manufacturing Building and Primary Support/Production Buildings
The site is dominated by the Main Manufacturing Building, a low-hazard facility constructed in 1942 that houses the key manufacturing operations of the KCP. In addition, the following buildings support the Main Manufacturing Building: (1) Polymer Building, (2) High Power Laboratory, (3) Mold Heating and Cooling Building, (4) Plating Building and Spray Mask Facility, (5) Technology Transfer Center, (6) Special Processes Building, and (7) Manufacturing Support Building. The Main Manufacturing Building provides approximately 2.6 million square feet of contiguous space. This space is shared between the DOE and the GSA. The DOE has control of, or permit to, approximately 2.07 million square feet of space within this building. In addition to the Main Manufacturing Building, the site has approximately 1.18 million square feet of space within additional buildings.
Polymer Production Facility
According to the Kansas City Plant Ten Year Site Plan (FY 2007), the KCP has submitted a proposal for a creation of a Center for Specialty Materials to replace the Polymer Production Facility (PPF), housed in Building 15, which is no longer efficient or capable. The PPF produces over 150 custom materials supporting the B61, W76, W80, W88, and B83 weapons systems. The proposed project would be scheduled for completion in 2015.
