The ALMA Hotel Residence (artist’s impression)

This illustration of the ALMA hotel residence shows a view towards the main building, which will provide communal areas for the staff working at the observatory. Behind the main building are some of the dormitory modules. The residence will be built at ALMA's Operations Support Facility, at an altitude of 2900 metres in the foothills of the Chilean Andes. In the background, the distinctive conical shape of the Licancabur volcano can be seen.
