description A full-scale prototype for the first station of the muon tracking system of the ALICE experiment has been studied and is now under construction. This prototype is a wire chamber with a cathode plane segmented into 9866 pads and strips. The dimensions are those presented in the technical proposal of the ALICE forward muon arm spectrometer: a quarter of a disc with an active area ranging from 177 mm for the inner radius to 911 mm on the outer radius. The document presents the technical design of the different elements: frames, wire and cathode planes. The assembly and the associated tools are also described. Some considerations on power supply and test injection on the anode plane are discussed. The chamber thickness is estimated to be 2.1% of a radiation length without the readout electronics
