I would imagine this type of facility would have it's own in-house "police commandos", given my perception of the nature of work done there.
StevieD, do you know if they have armed response teams or at least armed security?

All vehicles and persons subject to search, and they love to search...They have this big awning (at the front gate) they erected after 9-11 to do so in the shade, and out of the rain...

A building at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston was evacuated Friday amid reports that an armed person was spotted there, the space agency said.
NASA security personnel as well as Houston police responded to "a report about a person with a weapon" at Building 44 on the space center's campus, agency spokeswoman Lynette Madison told MSNBC.com. She said that personnel were evacuated from the building, and that the situation was "ongoing." Police commandos were surrounding the building and searching inside.
KPRC, Houston's NBC affiliate, quoted authorities as saying a gunman was reportedly barricaded in a second-floor office. However, police told NBC that they could not yet confirm that a gunman was inside.
NASA sent an advisory to center personnel telling them to "shelter in place until further notice."
Space Center Intermediate School, which is near the campus, was placed in lockdown mode as a precaution, district officials told KPRC. Parents were asked to not come to the campus until the all-clear is given.
Building 44 is a communications and tracking development laboratory on a remote part of Johnson Space Center's sprawling campus, far from the Mission Control buildings. Security officials were looking into the possibility that the facility was connected to other buildings via underground tunnels.
