Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake hosted a pair of ribbon cutting ceremonies on May 05, 2023 to commemorate OICC China Lake's delivery of its first two of 55 facilities to support the research, development, testing and evaluation mission across the Navy’s single largest land holding, covering more than 1.1 million acres, an area larger than the state of Rhode Island.

Construction of the multipurpose religious facility and gymnasium, began in Fall 2020, with demolition of the old gymnasium, All-Faith Chapel, built in 1957, and the Bennington Plaza Theater, all damaged beyond repair by the 2019 earthquakes.
