Known as the "Heavy Shop" in local parlance, the Vehicle Maintenance Facility is responsible for the maintenance and repair of all motorized vehicles at McMurdo Station except for aircraft and snowmobiles. McMurdo's Christmas party is held here annually, taking advantage of the building's large open floor area.
