I was going with a analogy that I thought would resonate with more people,
but they are one and the same, no?

- Operators taking calls, collecting data, diffusing it to the right people.
- Supervisors overseeing and coordinating. 
- Maps projected on the wall.
- Big open space with line of sight from anywhere to anywhere.

Regardless, it looked a 1000% better than the couple of cubicles in Hamilton
that was the existing centre.
