I guessed the first photo was years old. I think the PC rooms did not look as sospiticated then.

The monitors are all old. I wonder if they are Samsung or not.

The chairs do not look so comfy. (Although in the first photo it appears there is a chair with a backrest.)

The next interior shot looks like a classroom.

PC bong academy?

Hmmm,

I should have noticed the hidden camera flavor of that exterior shot.

It suggests North Korea.

They are training young would be infiltrators how to blend in with their decadent SK counterparts.

Very clever.

The bad thing is that they don't use internet (a link to outside resrouces), they use intranet, which is completely internal.

And I bet the guy is a political officer supervising the use of the computers there.
