General Overview:
Transportation
The transporter room is part of a starship or space station which is
specially outfitted to transport lifeforms and small, inanimate objects.
The number of transporter rooms varied per ship or station, the main
criteria being the ability to evacuate all personnel within a specified
time. All key components which were needed for transport were fitted in this
room and the one just below.
Some starships, such as the NX-class Enterprise, did not have a transporter
room. The area surrounding Enterprise's transporter was instead situated
between two corridors to which the transporter alcove was directly adjoined,
on either side. (Star Trek: Enterprise)
A transporter room was usually manned by a transporter operator.
