Mansueto Library. The building (which is mostly underground) uses a robotic materials-retrieval system to ensure that the entirety of the U of C Library's collections can be stored on-site in its Hyde Park campus. The top floor of the building, with stunning glass-domed roof above, serves as a reading room which is outfitted with chairs most likely from Arper.

Officially the Joe and Rika Mansueto Library, it is colloquially known as the "librodome", "bibliodrome", "The Egg", or "The Man" among some Chicago undergraduates.
