This paper provides a description of the mechanical design for the single panel of the MAORY thermal enclosure. The thermal enclosure ensures the internal environment temperature stability for improved optical performance. The panel is composed of layers of different materials, with a cooling coil inside of it. The materials and their thicknesses are chosen so that the internal environment is insulated from the outside, while the inner surface of the panel shows a uniform temperature distribution, for improved thermal stability. The paper focuses on the mechanical structure design and analyses of the panel. Particular attention is given to the interface with the electrical harness that needs to reach the inside of the enclosure.
