Joe and Rika Mansueto Library, Research library at University of Chicago, Hyde Park, United States

The Joe and Rika Mansueto Library is a research library on the University of Chicago campus in the Hyde Park neighborhood. It is recognizable by an oval glass dome that covers a ground-level reading room, with an automated underground storage facility below.

The building opened in 2011 and was designed by Helmut Jahn, a German-American architect known for his work with glass structures. It was built to solve a storage problem for the university library without taking up more space on the existing campus.

The library's glass dome drew the makers of the 2013 film Divergent, who shot a scene there and let selected undergraduates take part. The building also appears in items of the University of Chicago Scavenger Hunt, known as Scav, and is a regular stop on campus tours for prospective students.

Access to the reading room is generally open to University of Chicago affiliates, while outside visitors may need to check entry requirements in advance. Coming on a weekday morning tends to give a quieter view of the space and the dome above.

Books in the underground storage are stacked in metal bins, and robotic cranes can retrieve a requested item in about three minutes. This allows a very large collection to fit in a space far smaller than a traditional library stack would require.
