Where does your church house Jesus in the Eucharist?

We have a tabernacle in the center of the original main altar (no longer used for Mass) and another in the Adoration Chapel.
 
Currently I attend Mass at a military multi-use chapel. After Mass, the statues of St. Joseph and Our Lady are removed, the Stations of the Cross are closed up, and the crucifix is turned sideways so that the protestants have some weird kind of totem-pole looking thing to gaze at while they are in church.

Off to the side, there is a little room labeled the Adoration Chapel. Jesus in the Eucharist is housed there, and thank God (!) the statues are left up all the time. This is where one goes for confession, too (the door to the confessional is off of the Adoration Chapel).
 
Tabernacle - main front and center white marble Altar, below the huge Crucifix.
 
Tabernacle in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel.

(No, the Tabernacle was not removed from the church; it was never in there in the first place.)
 
The Eucharist is currently kept in a tabernacle in the side chapel. There are plans underway to move the tabernacle into the main church near the altar. It will go on the wall behind and to the left of teh altar where we already have a cabinet for the Chrism oils. I’m not sure what we’re going to do with the oils when Jesus moves in.
 
We have a beautiful tabernacle sitting in a place of prominence in the front of the large (seats 300) chapel directly behind the altar that can be seen from the narthex (lobby area from which you can enter into and see into through floor to ceiling glass either the chapel or main church). It is great for silent prayer before or after mass without being disturbed by people trying to exit/enter for another mass. We also have a small (seats maybe 30) Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration chapel in our annex-type building where Jesus sits in a lovely monstrance exposed 24/7 for adoration. This was added because our large chapel gets such heavy use for 2x daily mass, weddings, funerals and group holy hours that Jesus was being exposed and reposed far too often and committed adorers had to sometimes sit in the hall until an event was over to finish their hour.
 
The tabernacle is in a nice, adoration chapel to the left of the altar, but I believe plans are being made to move it to the main altar.
 
At my church, the Eucharist is stored in the Tabernacle, which is at the back of the sanctuary on the old Altar, which isn’t used anymore.
 
Off to the side where St. Joseph used to be.
Meanwhile there is a nice rectangular cut out in the marble behind the altar where HE used to be.
Oh, but the fancy display of Holy oils is front and center on the altar.
 
In the smaller approx. 70 person chapel for Eucharistic adoration from 7-10 each weekday, and in the tabernacle front and center behind the alter otherwise. 👍

I’m confused. Do you have decorative bottles sitting on display like perfume bottles would on a lady’s vanity? Did they remove a built-in tabernacle and move it?
 
The Eucharist is reserved at several places at my parish. It is always reserved in the Blessed Sacrament chapel, sometimes on a different tabernacle at another altar, currently it has also been reserved in the Lady Chapel. And there is parish center at my church that has a chapel, I know it’s used for Adoration on First Fridays but I’m not sure if the Eucharist is reserved there every day.
 
We have a tabernacle in the main church, another in the daily mass chapel, and then another chapel for 24-hour adoration. 🙂
