No new space shuttles are being built at this time.
NASA built a total of five space shuttles: Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour. These shuttles were in operation from 1981 to 2011.
5 were built Columbia Discovery Atlantis Endeavor Challenger
Five Space Shuttles were built. Challenger, Columbia, Atlantis, Discovery and Endeavor. Of the five built, three remain. Atlantis, Discovery and Endeavor
6. Enterprise, Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, Endeavour.
Six air-worthy shuttles have been built; the first orbiter, Enterprise, was not built for space flight, and was used only for testing purposes. Five space-worthy orbiters were built: Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour. Challengerdisintegrated 73 seconds after launch in 1986, and Endeavourwas built as a replacement. Columbia broke apart during re-entry in 2003.

They are in the order in which they flew: Colombia Challenger Discovery Atlantis Endeavour So your answer would be 5.
4 Space Shuttles existed in 2011. Including the test vehicle, Space Shuttle Enterprise. Space Shuttles that actually went into space? 3. Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour.
Currently NASA have three space shuttles Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavour.

There were six space shuttles built between the late 70s and early 1990s. Their names are: Enterprise, Columbia, Challenger, Discovery,Atlantis and Endeavor. The Enterprise flew several times on top of a modified Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet, and did glidding tests in the 70s, but never went into space. This tests lead to discovering problems with heat tiles falling off that were resolved in later shuttles. Both the Challenger and the Columbia were lost in accidents, the Challenger as it took off from Florida, the Columbia as it re-entered the atmosphere.
