Scientific paper

The WIYN 3.5 Meter Telescope enclosure was designed to minimize the effects of dome seeing. A combination of strategies is being used to achieve this goal including a well ventilated telescope chamber, low thermal inertia construction, active ventilation using fans, and utilization of surface coatings to control radiation losses. This paper presents the design approach and preliminary thermal measurements of the facility.
