Remove, withdraw, pull out, or close a body temperature checkpoint?
The school has set up several body temperature checkpoints at school entrances and a few buildings on campus as precautions against COVID-19, Most of the checkpoints are simply equipped with a desk, a thermometer, a spray bottle with alcohol, and a staff member checking the temperature of students and teachers. One of the checkpoints will stop operating starting from July 1. Do we say "The checkpoint at the building #1 will be closed, withdrawn, removed or pulled out starting July 1."? It doesn't sound right to me anyway, Is there a better way to put it? Thank you very much!

I would say either:
The checkpoint at building #1 will be removed on July 1st.
or...
The checkpoint at building #1 will stop operating on July 1st.

“Closed” is OK; “discontinued” would be good too.

Hi, Amudala Satyanarayan! It's OK to say "shut its doors" even the humble checkpoint is located in the lobby of the building? Thank you!

The COVID-19 checkpoint-S1 at the building-M will shut its doors permanently from July 1.

Hi, Carol V., I'd say we're removing the checkpoint. There will be no checkpoint there anymore.
