  That's a space and a half! Any idea why such a high ceiling was necessary?

  perhaps because of toxic fumes..you know, higher the ceiling, more air circulation, that sort of thing. just a guess

  A lot of factories are like that. Perhaps also to let the heat rise, keep the workers a tad cooler?

  I would think the architecture of the building has very little - if nothing - to do with the comfort of employees. Perhaps it is because of a regulation regarding air quality?

  Factories are rarely built for a single purpose for an expected lifetime. That, coupled with the fact that they need to generally build taller as they build wider, results in a larger building by default. Remember, these were expensive investments; what manufactures ammunition today may manufacture portable bridges in 10 years or any other item.
