We describe the construction of GROND, a 7-channel imager, primarily designed
for rapid observations of gamma-ray burst afterglows. It allows simultaneous
imaging in the Sloan g'r'i'z' and near-infrared $JHK$ bands. GROND was
commissioned at the MPI/ESO 2.2m telescope at La Silla (Chile) in April 2007,
and first results of its performance and calibration are presented.
