When it comes to operating a facility, size can play a significant role in managing functions, meeting standards, services provided, and more. The interviewer wants to know if you've operated a building the same size and capacity as the one you'd be responsible for if hired. Describe your experience operating buildings of the same size or similar. Ensure the interviewer that you are well equipped.
If you don't have experience operating a facility of this size, describe any closely related experience that will allow you to perform this role successfully.

I've worked on a variety of sized buildings and ships. When I applied I assumed it was for the SF office but I wasn't sure about the travel %. Then I spoke to Austin, he mentioned that there are 10-15 sites in the bay area and that makes the job more appealing.

This is a good start, but I suggest focusing less on the specifics of this job and instead shifting your focus to your previous work. This is your opportunity to really showcase how you have scaled, managed large teams, and operated a large building.
