  The Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) project was completed without on-site superconducting RF (SRF) facilities. Installation of the infrastructure necessary to maintain and repair the superconducting Linac and to support power upgrade research and development (R&D) is well underway. Installation of a Class10/100/10,000 cleanroom and outfitting of the test cave with RF, vacuum, controls, personnel protection and cryogenics systems is now complete. These systems were recently operated satisfactorily to test a cryomodule that had been removed from the accelerator and repaired in the cleanroom. A horizontal cryostat has been fabricated and will be soon commissioned. Equipment for cryomodule assembly and disassembly has been installed and used for cryomodule disassembly. Cavity processing equipment, specifically an ultra-pure water system, high pressure rinse system, and vertical test area is being designed and installed. This effort is providing both high-power test capability as well as long-term maintenance capabilities. This paper presents the current status and the future plans for the SNS SRF test facility.
