New 402nd facility to officially open Published March 26, 2010 By Wayne Crenshaw 78 ABW/PA ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. -- A ribbon-cutting ceremony Thursday will celebrate the opening of the new Aircraft Component Repair Facility in Bldg. 189. The 61,000-square foot building cost nearly $15 million and is already in use. It consolidates work which was done in Bldgs. 146, 603 and 605 by the 402nd Commodities Maintenance Group. The project is part of an ongoing $150 million construction plan at Robins to replace aging and outdated buildings. The new building allows the demolition of Bldgs. 603 and 605, which were each over 50 years old, energy inefficient and in need of continuous repairs. Kevin Shanahan, lead engineer for facilities in the 402nd Maintenance Support Group, said the new building is designed specifically for the work being done there.
