Within the LAOLA Collaboration, the University of Hamburg and DESY work closely together to combine university research in the field of laser-plasma acceleration with the expertise of a large and well-established accelerator facility. In this poster we will present the design of two elements of the future LUX beamline, a dedicated beamline for generation of laser-plasma-driven undulator radiation within the LAOLA framework. The laser focusing system allows for positioning of the focusing mirror in 5 degrees of freedom in order to align the laser beam onto the acceleration target. A 4D-beam diagnostic ensures that the laser positioning and angle is kept at its design values. The electron spectrometer, based on a C-shaped permanent dipole magnet, is specifically designed to offer a very large dynamic range (50 to 1200 MeV). This allows the spectrometer to cope with the varying central beam energy and potentially broadband spectra resulting from these experimental sources. Both designs are developed with the accelerator technology standards in mind.
