Re: the new, vertically-oriented door. Could this be for payloads coming into the building for integration with X-37B, rather than for an X-37B leaving the building?
Not necessarily just to support a clean room, could be intended to protect the contents of the building from casual surveillance when the outer door is open, especially if there are two vehicles in the launch rotation.
Drove by the OPF-2 and the main door was open. It was completely gutted and empty.

The X-37B program, which currently consists of two nearly 9-meter-long robotic spaceplanes, is taking over Orbiter Processing Facility (OPF) bays 1 and 2.
