The LSST facility design layout atop the El Peñón summit in Northern Chile makes use of the natural terrain to provide efficient use of space and natural ventilation. Initial numerical fluid models of the site and the 30-m cylindrical dome indicate good flow across the terrain and more than 50 dome air changes per hour in median wind conditions. The recent geotechnical survey data shows exceptional bedrock quality that contributes to an 8.3 hz first natural frequency of the telescope analyzed on the pier and foundation. The ongoing survey of weather and astronomical conditions is providing data for engineering and is adding to the database that guides operational planning and performance predictions.
