The Intensive Care Unit in Space Brain features a fairly standard observation room (see also other Medical Units with Observation), with a few variations. The windows to the lunar surface are unusual. The observation window is also unusual- it is the narrower window seen only in Flight control in Breakaway, and in Medical in The Troubled Spirit.
The set was filmed on Friday 13th December 1974, and 16th-18th November.

View from the ICU through the observation window. Note there are communications posts in the ICU and observation room.
There's a standard Main Mission-type desk in front of the observation window with a Pio Manzu desk container and thermographic print. We see 3 other Main Mission desks at the back of the room.
A wider view from the ICU, showing more Main Mission desks on the far wall of the observation room.
This is the foot-end of the ICU, with a door to the corridor seen right, and the observation room door beyond.
The end of the symbiosis experiment were refilmed later. It was shot in the revamped Command Office set; this shot reveals the higher ceiling. A brief view to the right shows blue illuminated panels, but no computers. Thanks to Craig Rohloff.

There are no elevations for the observation room, it only has blank panels with one side door.
