Where has all the space at Swanwick suddenly come from?
The Swanwick ops room was designed to allow a very heavy and large display to be fitted and removed from the sector suite from the rear so as not to affect adjacent positions. The display is now a fraction of the weight and size and you no longer need all that space for the handling equipment. It would now be possible to fit the same number of sectors in roughly half the space especially if you straighten out the "bananas". The other limitation at the time would have been power and heat limits and space in the equipment rooms but again modern equipment is far more efficient and you can now fit more in less space.
