During the [[Battle of Mombasa]], an angered, corrupt ex-cop, [[Marshall Glick]], took control of the lobby with an Assault Rifle and killed several cops. He then took two people, [[Sadie Endesha]] and [[Mike Branley]], hostage for a while before a [[Special Weapons And Tactics|SWAT team]] arrived and killed him. They then forced the duty officer to reactivate the Superintendent.<ref name="sadie"/>

Later in the battle, [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODSTs]] [[Kojo Agu]] and [[Edward Buck]] made their way to the top of the building, avoiding [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] troops on their way up. After a Pelican carrying their squad mates was shot down, they fought their way through the upper floors to another rooftop to rescue them.
Later in the battle, [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODSTs]] [[Kojo Agu]] and [[Edward Buck]] made their way to the top of the building, avoiding [[Covenant Empire|Covenant]] troops on their way up. After a Pelican carrying their squad mates was shot down, they fought their way through the upper floors to a crane holding a metal girder. Crossing the girder lead them to a separate building that was under construction nearby, abandoned by the time of the Pelican crash.<ref name="nmpdhq"/>


The upper floors of the building were still under construction by the time [[Covenant]] [[Covenant military|troops]] arrived, and the floors were left completely abandoned when UNSC reinforcements arrived, and the area around the NMPD Pelican crash site was used as a defensive position by the ODSTs using [[AIE-486H Heavy Machine Gun|HMGs]] and [[LAU-65D/SGM-151|Missile Pods]], successfully repelling a Covenant attack on the rooftops by Covenant [[Type-52 Troop Carrier|Phantoms]] and [[Type-26 Ground Support Aircraft|Banshees]].

The Building is divided into east and west. The East portion features four smaller lobbies. East Lobby 1 was for the Operations Bureau. East Lobby 4 was for Support Services. The Eastern portion also contains one large, central lobby, which divided East Lobby 2 and East Lobby 3. It was composed of the East Cadogan Wing and the East Uratanke Wing. The building's Eastern wing's top floors had several air pads for NMPD's [[D77H-TCI Pelican|Pelican Dropships]].<ref name="nmpdhq" /> The 14th floor of the building is emergency communications and a propaganda broadcasting station.<ref name="sadie">''Halo 3: ODST'', ''[[Sadie's Story]]''</ref>
The building, with the rest of New Mombasa, was destroyed when [[Truth's fleet]] [[Glassing|glassed]] Mombasa to excavate the [[Forerunner]] [[Installation 00|Ark]] [[Portal at Voi|Portal]].
