Q:

Term for check-in location

What is a general term for a check-in location? Specifically this is a location where people can be assigned.  They include offices, deployment areas, staging areas, site-locations, warehouses, command centers and trailers.  These locations can also hold equipment and inventory. Unfortunately the only thing I can come up with that isn't too specific is location.

A:

How about rendezvous point, or muster point (in times of emergency)?

A:

It might depend on the specific context, but the most general term I can think of is sign-in desk. Similar phrases are registration desk and check-in desk. For something that has a greater sense of urgency, you could use rally point, though that may not obviously imply the idea of "checking in".
