Nothing new. When I was at LATCC in 1971 we moved into the Mediator 1 room where the 4 main en-route sectors each had an RAF controller on them to integrate their OAT with the GAT.
Called LJAO, then SEJAO; I presume it goes under another name nowadays.
Oh and off route, the civil and military FIS suites were next to each other in their own little control room next to D & D - very convenient!
