Use of the word "Station"

[Tom]

Hello

If my office has four branches, all near each other. A friend of mine comes to see me and asks the gatekeeper:

1- In which branch is Mr. Tom stationed?

Is the use of the word station correct?

Hi Tom

First of all, it doesn't sound like you should be using the word branch. Branches are generally in different towns, so they aren't accessed through a single gate.

It sounds like you're simply referring to 4 separate buildings at one location. Is that the case?

If so, I'd simply ask the guy at the gate:
"Can you tell me which building Mr. Archer works in?"

Using the word "stationed" sounds like you might be talking about a soldier.
