Ohjauskeskuksessa

Ohjauskeskuksessa is a Finnish phrase meaning “in the control center” or “at the control room.” The term combines ohjaus (control, guidance) and keskus (center), with the inessive suffix -ssa to indicate location inside the center. It is used to describe where monitoring, directing, or decision-making activities take place.

The expression is common in technical, industrial, and security contexts, where operations are coordinated from a centralized hub. It can refer to places such as air traffic control centers, power plant control rooms, emergency response centers, or mission control in space programs. In journalism and fiction, ohjauskeskuksessa helps situate scenes within a centralized operations environment and conveys a sense of centralized oversight.

In everyday language, ohjauskeskuksessa appears in descriptive text, signage, manuals, and narratives to specify location. It is not a proper noun or a name of a specific institution; rather, it denotes a place within a facility where control-related tasks are conducted. The phrase is typically used with verbs that describe actions occurring in that space, such as monitoring, directing, or coordinating activities, for example: “Valvontahenkilöstö työskentelee ohjauskeskuksessa” (The monitoring staff work in the control center). Overall, the term serves as a functional locator for centralized operational activity in Finnish.
