The largest building in the world by volume is the Boeing Everett Factory in Everett, Washington, USA.
📏 Quick Stats:
- Volume: Approximately 13.3 million cubic meters (472 million cubic feet)
- Floor area: Around 398,000 square meters (4.3 million square feet)
- Purpose: It’s where Boeing assembles some of its largest aircraft, including the 747, 767, 777, and 787 Dreamliner (although production plans shift over time).
🏗️ Why it’s so massive:
This is a working aircraft assembly plant, and it needs to fit:
- Entire jumbo jets during their construction
- Overhead cranes, tooling systems, and materials handling
- Room for thousands of employees, workshops, and transport systems inside
It’s so vast that it reportedly has its own weather system, including clouds forming near the ceiling before Boeing installed proper ventilation!
Let me know if you’d like a comparison chart of the top 5 by volume, or a poetic rendering of what it might feel like to walk through that cavern of industry.
