Starfleet Headquarters
The term "Starfleet Headqauarters" is often used interchangeably with a collection of major building and structures which occupy the San Francisco Presidio, north of the city of San Francisco, extending to the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco Bay. The physical Starfleet Headquarters building is the central structure of the Presidio Starfleet Headquarters and is operated by a full-time staff, separate from the tenant offices which also occupy the complex. Normal operating hours at Starfleet Headquarters are 0800 to 1800, while a daily duty section is drawn from assigned headquarters personnel in order to respond to any after-hours concerns.

STARFLEET HEADQUARTERS HISTORY
Upon petition from the Chief of Starfleet Operations, in June 2136 the city of San Francisco allocated a parcel of land on the San Francisco Presidio to serve as the site of the new Starfleet Headquarters. Groundbreaking for Starfleet Headquarters occurred in September 2136 with a formal opening of the facility in July 2137.
In May 2138, per Starfleet Operations Directive #7, a major expansion of Starfleet Headquarters was ordered with a construction project to begin that fall and projected to last between five to ten years. The expansion would create three additional facilities adjacent to Starfleet headquarters to encompass engineering research, general Starfleet training, as well as a hospital complex.
The first expansion, the Starfleet Training Center, was formally opened in September 2139. This was followed by the opening of the Starfleet Engineering Complex in February 2140. Groundbreaking for the new Starfleet Medical Center, originally scheduled for the spring of 2141, took place in September 2145. Construction was completed in October 2146 with the dedication ceremony for teh new medical center scheduled by the end of the year.
