Abstract
This is a companion to recent papers of the authors; here we construct the 'noncommutative Shilov boundary' of a (possibly nonunital) selfadjoint ordered space of Hilbert space operators. The morphisms in the universal property of the boundary preserve order. As an application, we consider 'maximal' and 'minimal' unitizations of such ordered operator spaces.
