Today they inaugurated the annex building to the Liverpool telescope.
The Liverpool is the joint largest robotic telescope in the world, with a 2 m mirror. Since there’s nobody at the telescope at night, it was built with very little in the way of workshops. But the new building contains a workshop to assemble and test new instruments, and a control room, to help humans commission them. Of course the workshop will also make routine maintenance of existing instruments much easier. And there’s a store room for spares, to keep them handy.
