BART's operations control center is located on the station's west side. The BART headquarters was located in a building on top of the station; due to potential risk of earthquake, the headquarters was moved out of the building to leased space on the first floor of the Kaiser Center, 3/4 of a mile away (1,200 m). BART is planning to dismantle the former headquarters building.
