Abstract

This work presents the design, implementation, and commissioning of the infrastructure and support services of the 1.3- meter COLIBRI robotic telescope site, located at the Observatorio Astronómico Nacional en San Pedro Martir, Instituto de Astronomía- UNAM, Baja California, Mexico. COLIBRI is a ground-based telescope, associated with the SVOM (Space Variable Object Monitor) mission dedicated to the study of gamma ray bursts. We share the progress on the building as well as the installations of the electrical systems, communications, air conditioning systems and security systems. We also share the strategies implemented to achieve the optimization of spaces in the building and the operation site, including technological challenges related to the process of enabling equipment to meet operating specifications and requirements.
