If this is so, I assume that they will make available local building permits and plenty
of funds for the drastic (in most cases) building remodeling necessary to accommodate
all the stuff in a single place... ;->

In a more serious vein, I cannot see how this could ever be implemented except by
starting from scratch.  Most institutions simply don't have the space to put everything
into one area, even if it were a good idea (which it isn't, it _really_ isn't).  It would
at the very least add another layer of bureaucracy and reduce management efficiency!
