The Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) is a collaborative effort between universities and research institutions to build a next-generation extremely large telescope for astronomical research at optical and infrared wavelengths. The GMT enclosure is cylindrical in shape and stands approximately 65 meters high. The telescope rotates independently of the enclosure down to a minimum elevation angle of 25°. This paper covers the decisions made during the conceptual design phase of the GMT enclosure, including an understanding of the facilities systems.
