Update of New Construction: Building 13 and 14

A few years ago, buildings 13 and 14, two 20 x 24 foot multi-telescope buildings, were approved by the county for submission.  Plans for these buildings are being drafted for submission in the next 1-2 months.  Construction is expected by late summer or fall.  

Each of these buildings will house 4 large and 4 smaller telescopes.  For the larger telescopes, there will be a clear 5 foot radius with a 10 foot ceiling.  This is equivalent to the spacing in Buildings 11 and 12.  For the smaller telescopes there will be a 2.5 foot radius, again with a 10 foot ceiling.  With two of these buildings, an additional 16 spaces will be available.  

Site plans and images will be added as the process progresses. We expect drafts to be posted in February and expect the plans to be submitted by March or April.
