Description

In this episode of ALMA's Little Universe, we will discuss how the Operation Support Facility is equipped to give their workers all the comforts and services needed, even at almost 3000 meters altitude in the Atacama Desert. The equipment includes offices, cafeterias, a gym with a pool, a barbecue area, and individual dormitories. We will speak with Carlos Bosa, project manager for a new multisport center at ALMA, also with Norikazu Mizuno, ALMA Deputy Director of Operations, who shared with us part of the massive efforts that are made to keep the workers living in good conditions, no matter how adverse the desert's environment and climate are.
