Good point. I think we're going for what the future should look like.
Unfortunately, the doors are already in place, and I don't think that mud-brick walls leave much leeway for sliding doors, anyway. (They don't look like mud-bricks; they're sort of attractive brown bricks with varnish on them, but I'm told that they're made out of very squished dirt.)
Neatness is certainly a goal. I'm not sure how realistic a goal, but it's a goal.
The Network Operations Center is basically the helpdesk and monitoring center (This is part of the reason the not-really-at-all boss wants it to look futuristic; if it's the most awesome tech thing in Zambia, maybe the poor folks running it will get a little more respect when the internet's out because the satellite is grumpy). Discussions at the moment include a large projection on one wall monitoring the status of . . . stuff. (He told me what stuff he wanted to monitor, but at this point I've forgotten what it was.)
