The paper discusses the requirements of the enclosure and infrastructure for OWL. Although predicted to have no serious technological risks, these items will constitute a significant investment within the OWL project. An enclosure for such a large telescope does not have to provide the same functions as the actual enclosures built as of today. Protection from wind disturbance is not provided as efficiently as by enclosures with dimensions in the order of 30 m. The conditioning of such large volumes is economically not viable. A none co-rotating enclosure is shortly discussed as a solution and the reasons, which could make it effective are analyzed. The pier of the telescope is sketched and its effect on the telescope dynamics is discussed.
