  1. Maunakea Spectroscopic Explorer Alternative Dome Enclosure concept Steven E. Bauman Operations Manager/Mechanical Engineer Canada France Hawaii Telescope Corporation http://mse.cfht.hawaii.edu

  2. Outline • Overview • Motivation • Justification • Scope & Goals • Conceptual design • Building layout • Facility support equipment • Discussion Nanjing, 1-3 April 2015

  3. The Observatory summit building includes the infrastructure and equipment required to support, operate, and facilitate night time observations. The facilities, offices, and support equipment are organized throughout the building taking into consideration, personnel workflow, daily work logistics and overall form, fit, and function. Preexisting building exhaust tunnels will continue to be used to remove heat and minimize thermal loads from the building. Overview Nanjing, 1-3 April 2015

  4. MSE will reuse the CFHT site and build upon the existing observatory, infrastructure, facilities, processes and expertise. CFHT’s site on Mauna Kea has some of the best seeing in the northern hemisphere, therefore to better meet the needs of it’s users an obvious choice is to upgrade the telescope with a larger primary mirror and equip it with new instrumentation so that more competitive science can be offered. The knowledge and experience from current employees will vastly streamline the engineering and construction of a new telescope facility. Justification Nanjing, 1-3 April 2015

  5. Provide a first pass conceptual design of the observatory building equipment and facilities required to operate a 10m class telescope. Create a list of equipment and facilities required based on existing MSE demands and development plans Research existing equipment used at other 10m class facilities Scope Nanjing, 1-3 April 2015

  6. Model the building design so existing equipment and infrastructure can be reused wherever possible while meeting new requirements Utilize past experience and support demands needed from observatory personnel to create a modern, simplistic, and logical design layout Position equipment and support services in ideal locations based on telescope configuration and technical needs Goals Nanjing, 1-3 April 2015

  7. Conceptual Design • Building layout • Equipment locations • Facility support services • Building changes Model work - collaboration with Greg Green – Instrument builder/Mechanical designer - CFHT Nanjing, 1-3 April 2015

  8. Questions? Nanjing, 1-3 April 2015
