The Mission Room allows virtual access to different parts of the site and significantly reduces the need for many costly and hazardous real site visits. Immersive clips of the site can be used for dilapidation surveys, planning and whiteboard meetings where complex operations need to be communicated quickly and clearly. Improved white board briefing facilities are being trialled at Peterborough, these include the use of interactive whiteboards and the use of magnetic information and action boards. These facilities are all about setting a professional standard for planning and briefing of project and site based resources.
