Superconducting rf cavity facilities are currently being developed at SNS aimed at addressing the limitations and availability of installed cavities and the direct support of the future power upgrade plans. Efforts are directed towards development of in situ repairs and processing techniques to increase available linac gradients. Procedures have been developed and implemented and the results will be presented for the repair of four cryomodules in the last year. Cryomodule testing facilities are being developed to further understand the collective limitations of installed cavities and spare cryomodule production is underway to develop and fabricate two high beta and one medium beta cryomodules. The direction and status of SRF facilities will be presented.
