Joe and Rika Mansueto Library, Research library at University of Chicago, Hyde Park, United States
The library features an elliptical glass dome covering a reading room, with an underground storage system containing millions of volumes.
Opened in 2011, the library was designed by architect Helmut Jahn to address space constraints and maintain collections on campus.
The library integrates with the Henry Moore sculpture Nuclear Energy, creating a central hub for academic research and study.
Multiple robotic cranes operate in the underground storage facility, retrieving requested materials within three minutes for library users.
The automated storage system holds 3.5 million volumes in metal bins stacked 50 feet high, using only one-seventh of traditional shelf space.
