Building on its massive infrastructure, UPS opened the first phase of its Hub 2000 in September. The largest and most advanced construction project in company history, Hub 2000 will significantly expand and automate the UPS air sort operation in Louisville. Blending UPS knowledge and experience with the latest technology, the $1 billion, 2.7 million square foot building will feature a sort capacity of over 300,000 packages per hour, with an option to expand to 500,000 packages per hour. Construction is scheduled for completion in fall 2002.
