<jats:p>The ProtoDUNE-SP detector is a single-phase liquid argon
time projection chamber (LArTPC) that was constructed and operated
in the CERN North Area at the end of the H4 beamline. This detector
is a prototype for the first far detector module of the Deep
Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), which will be constructed at
the Sandford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, South
Dakota, U.S.A. The ProtoDUNE-SP detector incorporates full-size
components as designed for DUNE and has an active volume of
7 × 6 × 7.2 m<jats:sup>3</jats:sup>. The H4 beam delivers incident
particles with well-measured momenta and high-purity particle
identification. ProtoDUNE-SP's successful operation between 2018 and
2020 demonstrates the effectiveness of the single-phase far detector
design. This paper describes the design, construction, assembly and
operation of the detector components.</jats:p>
