Uniform scale is controlled by the 51.2 m full vertical extent; preserve the natural current width without forcing an unsourced second axis.

Large Binocular Telescope Enclosure (Current)

The unusual rotating rectangular enclosure of the Large Binocular Telescope on Mount Graham is shown in its current appearance with the split walls and roof closed. Its full height above grade is 168 ft, or about 51.2 m; the operator separately lists about 40 m at roofline, so the two references are not combined.

Measurement basis

Vertical scale uses the 168 ft overall above-grade height. The operator's ~40 m roofline and designer's 30 m lower pier describe different endpoints.
