A holodeck arch.

An arch is an inner doorway in Star Fleet designed holodeck systems. When used, the arch can be a demarcation between the simulated world of the holodeck and the outside world. The arch is designed so that when a holodeck program is running it can be hidden – the voice command, “Exit”, is used when participants wish for the arch to reappear without closing the program.

This structure contains the holodeck control panels and interfaces. Through it participants can modify the program, communicate to others on the starship, or access any other computer functions.
