Orbiter mockup at the old Florida STS departs...

I was wondering what they’d do with the orbiter mockup at the old Florida SC building now that they're moving the Hall of Fame over to the main visitor center and selling the building. So odd their going to make a raft out of the thing: http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-0 ... -move.html
Along the same lines, I found these mentions of them tearing down the HAB for SC Florida: http://genesisattachments.com/u_nasaspacecampstory.asp and http://www.collectspace.com/ubb/Forum41 ... 00386.html.
Oddly, that just a few months before my 2011 visit. Interesting timing as this was right before the STS program ended and there was a serious gloom over the Space Coast.
Until recently I didn’t know they'd had a HAB much like the one at Huntsville. I don’t recall looking that direction (other than noticing the orbiter mockup) the previous times I was at KSC and I didn’t even know there even was a Florida SC until a few years ago…
