    Reunion, thanks for the clue.

    Largest building by volume, I read somewhere that the Kremlin was pretty sprawling.

    I've been inside the Vehicle Assembly Building (3rd most voluminous at one point) at Cape Canaveral, where they'd house the Saturn V, shuttle, etc.
    It has its own weather inside the building -- clouds form near the ceiling and sometimes some slight rain.

    The Boeing facility reminds me of the old Lockheed plant outside of Atlanta -- pretty huge in it own right. (Now known as USAF Plant 6.)
