We own our facility in Swannanoa, North Carolina, which is near Asheville, North Carolina and the land on which our Asheville facility is located. Our Asheville facility primarily houses administrative offices, our enterprise connectivity manufacturing operations, our enterprise connectivity product development function and our enterprise connectivity warehouse. Our Asheville facility is situated on approximately 13 acres of land located east of Asheville, North Carolina. The Asheville facility includes two buildings totaling approximately 64,000 square feet. Our office building at the Asheville facility sustained water damage from a burst water pipe at the end of December 2022, and is not currently being used. The office building is separate from our manufacturing building, which houses our manufacturing operations and certain offices at the same location.
We lease our facility in Plano, Texas, which is near Dallas, Texas. Our Dallas facility primarily houses administrative offices, our harsh environment and specialty connectivity manufacturing operations, certain enterprise connectivity manufacturing operations, our harsh environment and specialty connectivity product development function, and our harsh environment and specialty connectivity warehouse. Our Dallas facility is located in an industrial complex of suites. The space leased is approximately 34,000 square feet.
We lease a warehouse facility in Roanoke, Virginia. The space leased is approximately 36,000 square feet and is used primarily to store raw materials and other items related to our fiber optic cable operations.
We believe that we operated at approximately 50% of our production equipment capacity on average at our collective manufacturing facilities during fiscal year 2025. This determination is based on a capacity calculation that assumes we would be fully staffed to run production at all of our locations twenty-four hours per day, seven days a week, all year. Since various production equipment is specialized and our product mix varies, individual manufacturing equipment may operate at higher or lower production capacity during any given period of time. Additionally, we can experience capacity constraints based on the types of products that are being manufactured at any given time and related inherent limitations in the manufacturing process as well as the time it takes to hire and train new employees.
Additional personnel would need to be hired and trained, additional warehousing space may be needed, and, depending on product mix, certain additional production equipment may need to be acquired, to fully utilize our available production equipment capacity at all of our facilities. We can provide no assurance as to the time required to complete the process of hiring and training personnel or to acquire and install certain additional production equipment or our ability to secure additional warehousing space, necessary to fully utilize our available production capacity.
