Summary

Significance: This building is a secondary contributor to the Rocky Flats Plant historic district, associated with the U.S. strategy of nuclear military deterrence during the Cold War, a strategy considered of major importance in preventing Soviet nuclear attack. During the first years of operation, personal automobiles were not permitted on Plant grounds. Personnel were bused to entry points around the Plant. Building 114 was built to shield workers from inclement weather while awaiting transportation.
