The Vehicle Assembly Building at KSC holds the largest room at the Cape Canaveral complex (Cape Canaveral Air Station and Kennedy Space Center). Originally built to house the Apollo program's Saturn V rockets, it is the largest one-story building in the world.
When the Saturn V rockets were taken out to the launch pads, they barely cleared the top of the doorway by inches. The building stands 525 feet high, and covers an area of 8 acres. It is absolutely mammoth in size - you cannot get an appreciation for how big it is unless you're standing next to it looking up. By comparison to the Saturn V, the Shuttles are small in comparison when taken to the pads on the crawler.
An interesting fact is that the VAB is so big that it has its own "weather", with rain clouds forming at the top inside the building on humid days. On sunny days, rising heat from the building brings flocks of birds to the top to ride the wind currents generated by the heat coming off of it.
When the American flag was painted on the side of the VAB in 1976 for the Bicentennial, it was the largest such flag in the world at the time. The stars on the flag measure 6', and the stripes are 9' wide.
The VAB was built to withstand hurricane force winds and has weathered more than one hurricane in its history.
