NCIS Building

The NCIS Headquarters or NCIS Building is the main headquarters for NCIS and main base of operations for NCIS D.C. Major Case Response Team, which is located in the Navy Yard in Washington D.C.
==History==
===NCIS Hostage Crisis===
The NCIS Hostage Crisis was an incident that occurred in the NCIS building at the Navy Yard in Washington D.C. during March 2004 when the NCIS Chief Medical Examiner, Dr. Donald Mallard, his Assistant Gerald Jackson and later NCIS Special Agent Caitlin Todd were all taken hostage by an unidentified gunman who was later revealed to be Mossad agent Ari Haswari.
===Biological Attack on NCIS===
Itis an incident that occurred at the NCIS Headquarters in Washington D.C. in May 2005 which saw the four members of the NCIS Major Case Response Team being put into quarantine after NCIS Special Agent Anthony DiNozzo opened a letter that was SWAK - Sealed With A Kiss, unknowingly infecting himself with a strain of Y. pestis.
Even though NCIS Special Agents Leroy Jethro Gibbs, Caitlin Todd and Timothy McGee tested negative, DiNozzo tested positive and was subsequently isolated although he later made a full recovery. With the help of NCIS agent Cassie Yates, Gibbs was able to arrest Hanna Lowell, the woman responsible for the attack.
===Navy Yard Bombing===
It’s was an incident that occurred in May 2012 when businessman/terrorist Harper Dearing attacked NCIS by detonating a bomb strapped underneath the car of NCIS Director Leon Vance in revenge for the death of Dearing's son, Evan who had perished in an attack on the U.S.S. Brandywine.
The attack left many buildings in the NCIS area damaged and also killed an unknown number of NCIS personnel including Ed Girard, the father of Max Girard while NCIS Special Agent Timothy McGee was among those injured in the blast but ultimately survived.
==Inside the Building==
*Lobby - is the main area that visitors must go through upon entering the NCIS HQ.
*Elevators- Lifts that grant NCIS employees and visitors access to any parts of the building including the squad-room, Autopsy and also Abby's lab.
*Bullpen- Its where the majority of the NCIS HQ teams including the Major Case Response Team or MCRT for short do their work.
**Squadroom is the main area in the NCIS Headquarters, where most of the teams including the NCIS Major Case Response Team work whenever they're not in the field. It can be accessed via an elevator as well as many other entrances located all around the Squadroom itself.
**NCIS Most Wanted Wall -
*The Multiple Threat Alert Center (MTAC), which MCRTeam regularly use if they want to keep tabs on a suspect. Different techs are stationed in MTAC around the clock to help keep track of the communications going through the centre and to also bring any incoming satellite or conference calls, some of which regard agents from other agencies online. MTAC can be unlocked by a team member's iris or eye.
*Director's Office- Where the NCIS Directors including Leon Vance do their work.
*Autopsy - Where ME Dr. Mallard (later James Palmer) work. They also perform autopsies on the bodies to determine if it was a death by natural causes or if the person in question was actually murdered.
*Forensics Lab- A lab where Forensic Scientist Kasie Hines works. Her predecessor, Abigail Sciuto also worked there, nicknaming it "Labby" up until her resignation and departure from NCIS in May 2018.
*Conference Room - Where various family members of a victim, some possible suspects and sometimes other agents from the FBI, ICE or CGIS are interviewed.
*Evidence Garage - Where the MCRT and Medical Examiner's vans are stored when not in use. It's also presumably the same place that the teams depart from once they have received a call about a body being found. Any physical evidence, eg, a car or a bed can be brought into the garage where the teams can work on them although Abby Sciuto is usually seen working there as well. The garage can be accessed by an elevator/lift which can be unlocked by a team member's iris or eye.
*Interrogation- Where suspects or people who committed the various crimes are taken and interrogated so that the NCIS Agents can either get a confession or new information to help them in their current case. As revealed in the Season 2 episode Caught on Tape (episode), there are two interrogation rooms.
*Observation- Behind the glass in Interrogation, there's an observation room where the other team members can go and watch the interrogation if they wish. A tech is presumably permanently stationed there so that they can record the interrogation for use in court or to play it back into the main room via speakers if requested.
*Break Room- Where the NCIS Agents as well as visitors to the building can go to get something to eat or drink. There are vending machines selling all kinds of snacks. In recent years, a kitchen unit complete with a microwave has also been added so that the Agents can make some hot drinks or soups for themselves.
*Shower Room- Here the Agents can go have a shower. It was used in SWAK (episode) where the agents had to wash off the strange powder that came from a mail sent by Hanna Lowell but in recent years, appears to have been upgraded to look modern. Towels, soaps and all kinds of shampoo are available too.
*NCIS Armory- A room where numerous weapons are on display. There are personnel there at all times.
*NCIS Historian office -
*A Tribute To Our Fallen - 
*Mezzanine-
*Roof-
