Second Office of Special Projects Building

The Second Office of Special Projects Building is the second and to date, the current base of operations for the Office of Special Projects, a top-secret division of the NCIS agency which is dedicated to stopping terrorism at all costs while investigating any crimes against the United States military and its active or former active duty members who are stationed or living on the West Coast of the United States.
Having previously operated from an office building in downtown Los Angeles until May 2009, OSP is now based inside an old Spanish mission building that also served as an old water planet administration building before it was abandoned and condemned following the Northridge Earthquake that occurred in January 1994.
However, sometime later, OSP established its base of operations there and continues to operate out of the building to this day.
==History==
Originally working out of a possible office building located somewhere in downtown Los Angeles which was seen during the NCIS Season 6/NCIS: Los Angeles backdoor pilot episodes, Legend (Part 1) (episode) and Legend (Part 2) (episode), NCIS agents and personnel assigned to OSP presumably worked there for four years, the teams often solving many cases.
However, in May 2009, after the conclusion of a case that had seen OSP working with its counterparts, the NCIS Major Case Response Team at the Navy Yard in Washington D.C. to stop a terrorist cell operating in downtown L.A., NCIS Special Agent G. Callen was left hospitalized after being badly wounded in a surprise attack which occurred while he was on a street in Venice Beach.
Fearing the building had been compromised and that the unit's existence had been also exposed which would have created a major security issue/breach, OSP agents and personnel immediately cleared out the building, stripping it of all essential materials before it was left vacant.
Presumably after the unit was temporarily disbanded or operated elsewhere before the second building, a Spanish-style mission located on the outskirts of Los Angeles opened up where they continue to operate to this day.
==Rooms/Areas Inside the OSP Building==
*OSP Bullpen- The main area where the NCIS agents of the OSP team works. Up until it was refurbished in the NCIS: Los Angeles Season 1 episode, "Random on Purpose", it originally consisted of two tables and a couch but thanks to Hetty, the bullpen now has four desks, all located opposite each other and where NCIS agents G. Callen, Sam Hanna, Kensi Blye and NCIS Investigator/former LAPD Detective Marty Deeks are often found sitting at their respective desks with each of their desks having a sign that displays their name. They will often gather here upon entering the OSP building or while they're in the process of doing paperwork or not working on a case. It's also where they hang out before they're usually summoned to the Ops Centre. A few steps away from the Bullpen, there is a table where a coffee machine is available, allowing the agents and their fellow OSP colleagues to get coffee. In the Bullpen, there is also a giant plasma screen TV where they can hold conference calls with other agents in the Boatshed or where newly uncovered information can be transferred from the plasma screen via a tablet or the OPS Centre upstairs.
*OSP Locker Room- Located right next to the Bullpen, it is where the team can store their own personal belongings. Presumably, each member of the team has their own designated locker. 
*OSP Ops Centre -The main backbone of OSP, the Ops Centre is a big room composed of workstations which are at the entrance/exit into the room where numerous other techs are seen working. There is also a giant screen in the centre of the room, allowing the agents and personnel there to video conference with numerous other people including NCIS Director Leon Vance. All of the big screens in this room are touch-screen operated, meaning that the personnel or agents can select any chosen file with their fingers and open it for others to see. Files in question can be even thrown over to another screen for other team members to look at. From September 2009 to September 2010, NCIS Tech Operator Eric Beale worked out of the Ops Centre by himself. In late September 2010, NCIS Analyst Nell Jones began working out of the Ops Centre much to Eric's annoyance but the two eventually got along with the two even containing joint briefings where they would both inform the OSP field team of their newest case. Following Eric and Nell's resignations from NCIS and OSP in May 2021, NCIS Special Agent Fatima Namazi along with her partner, fellow NCIS agent Devin Rountree and retired Navy Admiral Hollace Kilbride as well as NCIS Reserve agent Shyla Dahr have taken over running Ops respectively, Fatima, Rountree or Shyla often briefing the OSP team on their newest case as well as informing the team members of newly discovered information. In recent years, three extra monitors have been added, the monitors in question located next or behind the desk area that the OSP team use with the monitors being used to presumably handle other pieces of information. 
*Hetty's Office- Located not too far from the OSP Bullpen, this office area is where Operations Manager Henrietta Lange works. The front area has a desk and a chair where she sits along with a chair for someone to sit down if they wish to talk to her to discuss something and also a couch area where she can talk to the agents or OSP personnel under her command. In the back is a small work area that is filled with files and has a computer.
*OSP Wardrobe - Located just a few steps away from the Bullpen, this area is where the members of the OSP field team will go to get changed so they can wearing the clothes they've been assigned for their undercover missions. There is a single dressing room where they can get changed and a mirror there where upon emerging, they can see how they look in their temporary outfit.
*OSP Computer Area - An area where Eric, Dom or Nell sometimes goes to get other information that's missing from the current case. It also appears to be where the Lab area is situated. 
*OSP Armory - Located next door to the NCIS OSP Firing Range, it is where numerous types of weaponry are stored, the weapons themselves behind rails or gates that can be accessed via a keycode. In addition to that, the Armory is also where OSP Operations Manager Hetty Lange has a cabinet stored with her own personal collection of weapons that she has amassed over her years. Whenever she's going into the field, Hetty will bring soon of these weapons with her for protection.
*OSP Firing Range - Located next to the OSP Armory on the left and the Gym on its right with windows giving agents or personnel a view into both of those respective rooms, it is a room consisting of paper targets in the corner and booths at the entrance to the room. This is where agents or personnel can go here to practice or improve their skills in firearms or just let off some steam of if they're frustrated or angry over something. Agents firing weapons will wear eye glasses and ear protectors too during the firing of their weapons before they take them off once they're finished.
*OSP Gym - Located next to the OSP Firing Range, this gym has a lot of exercise machines where the OSP agents or personnel can cycle on or practice their punches or kicks. There's usually a gym bag seen hanging here, one that NCIS Special Agent Sam Hanna will often use to let off his frustration or anger over something. At the far end of the gym, there's also a rock wall where the OSP members can often use practice their climbing skills as well. 
*OSP Motor Pool - Appearing only in the NCIS: Los Angeles Season 5 episode, "Omni", this area is presumably where NCIS agents or personnel can park their cars before heading into the main OSP building. Numerous vehicles including NCIS Special Agent G. Callen's Mercedes and Operations Manager Hetty Lange's Cobra which was restored are located here.
*OSP Burn Room - A room where numerous files and boxes are stored. There is a burner or burn machine there which Ops Manager Hetty Lange and NCIS Tech Analyst Nell Jones have been seen using to destroy files containing information they don't want their fellow OPS colleagues to know about. 
*Kilbride's Office - Originally built to be used by NCIS Executive Assistant Director Shay Mosley, it served as her office during her time at OSP and is located directly under Hetty's office. However, following Mosley's resignation and departure from OSP, the office was used by personnel visiting OSP as a temporary office so they could conduct their work without anyone bothering them but as of NCIS: Los Angeles Season 13, retired Navy Admiral Hollace Kilbride who has replaced Hetty as Operations Manager has claimed this spot as his own permanent office, having filled up the space with his own personal belongings. There is also a desk and a chair where Kilbride sits to do his paperwork and a monitor that allows him to look at a file or have a conference call with other people.
*Mini Office Area- Located beside the OSP Wardrobe, this area contains two desks that NCIS agents Fatima Namazi and Devin Rountree use as their respective work stations, the two usually at their desks whenever they're not in Ops or the field, working on a case. 
==Other Buildings==
*Boatshed - Located on the outskirts of Los Angeles Harbor and in the vicinity of an unnamed beach, the boatshed/boathouse is a place that belongs to the NCIS OSP division. To protect the main OSP headquarters from any unwanted criminals who in turn do not have security clearance to know of the main OSP building and to stop any hostile forces from gaining or launching an attack against the main building, the various criminals the OSP team apprehend in the field are instead brought to the Boatshed and placed into one of two interrogation rooms, one on the main floor which is located just inside the entrance/exit to the Boatshed and another one upstairs that can be accessed via some stairs. The two Interrogation rooms have cameras, a parabolic mike and possibly a Class 5 Fiber Optic Scope that allows the interrogations to be seen and heard via a monitor located in the main area of the Boatshed. Outside, in the main area of the Boatshed is a table and some chairs as well as a sink, fridge and kitchen set-up, allowing the NCIS agents to have some food or drink while keeping an eye on the interrogations via a monitor located a few metres away from the table. There are also two couches located opposite the table where the witnesses or relatives of murder victims whose case the NCIS team are currently investigating are brought to upon their arrival at the Boatshed via an NCIS agent who has the necessary clearance to know of the Boatshed's existence. The monitor also serves as a means of taking calls to or from the main OSP HQ, allowing the NCIS agents to receive new information concerning a case or if hostile forces are about to breach the Boatshed. In the event of the Boatshed being attacked, the NCIS agents can use an escape hatch hidden underneath the table in the main interrogation room to get themselves and their suspects to safety with the hatch itself leading right into the ocean, allowing them to get to safety. Whenever someone is in the vicinity of the Boatshed, attempting to presumably illegally gain access, motion sensors will activate, alerting the NCIS agents of the impending danger. Following Henrietta Lange's decision to have iradian heat grade wired into the Boatshed's walls and ceiling, the option of using thermal imaging has been rendered completely useless. In NCIS: Los Angeles Season 13, an extension was revealed to have been added to the Boatshed with the OSP agents able to head outside and look at the marina as well as the ocean. In the NCIS: Los Angeles Season 14 episode, "Best Seller", it's shown that a new Armory has been added to the Boatshed, allowing the agents to stock up on supplies such as body armor and weapons before they head into the field with the Armory stored overhead in the main room and being activated once a switch on one of the wooden poles in the room is pressed. In the NCIS: Los Angeles Season 14 episode, "A Long Time Coming", it's revealed that the Boatshed is a separate facility from OSP for security reasons.
