A shipyard was a type of facility, a building dedicated to constructing, repairing and refitting vessels. (Star Trek: The Magazine vol. 1, Issue 9: "Drydock")
Such a facility could include surface-based buildings and space-based drydocks, like the NX Program's Warp Five Complex on Earth's surface and the Orbital Drydock Facility in orbit. (ENT episode: "Broken Bow")
History and specifics
In the Kelvin timeline, the Riverside Shipyard was a ground-based facility that constructed the Constitution-class USS Enterprise in Riverside, Iowa on Earth in the 2250s decade. (TOS movie: Star Trek)
In the 2370s, various space-faring powers operated shipyards with drydocks that could construct, decommission and repair starships. These drydocks could built specific ship classes only but could repair and recycle any spacecraft. (ST video game: Armada)
The Federation opened a new shipyard with associated drydock at Federation Headquarters in the 3190s. This facility was called Archer Spacedock. (DSC episode: "Kobayashi Maru")
