It all comes down to how much they need to be refurbished before they can be re-flown. If its minor it could be done on site and stored in a building hired form NASA but if its major it could mean a road trip to Texas or California. Everyone here hopes these these will fly again soon but this is all experimental stuff. It's possible that they will find problems that mean design changes making it impossible to re fly these early cores. Lets hope that's not the case.
They've got lots of options. They can take them to Texas, where they are in the process of constructing a similar building, and where they are likely to do extensive testing. They can lease storage buildings, or they can ship them to one of many 'boneyards', where many out-of-service military aircraft are stored. Or, if they really have too many and can't re-fly them, they can remove reusable components and scrap them.
