White House situation room gets 'Hollywood' facelift with new tech & mahogany

[Collection]The White House Situation Room - a space of great mystique and even greater secrecy - just got a $50 million facelift. Actually, "room" is a misnomer. It's a 5,500-square-foot, highly secure complex of conference rooms and offices on the ground floor of the West Wing. These are rooms where history happens, where the president meets with national security officials to discuss secret operations and sensitive government matters.
