“A skin of aluminum and glass surrounds the Auraria Library building. Sun blinds have been attached to the glass skin to dim the sunlight. The library façade, in white enameled aluminum, contrasts with the dark earthy colors of the brick buildings on campus.” Werner Blaser, Helmut Jahn: Transparency, 1996
1977 – Michigan City Public Library
1979-1985 – State of Illinois Center, Chicago
1987 – Chicago O’Hare Terminal One
2012 –Mansueto Library, University of Chicago
“Inside, the installation has been fitted visibly, so that all spatial changes will be possible at any time. … Planted interior courtyards loosen the building. The interior space is an open system.” Werner Blaser, Helmut Jahn: Transparency, 1996
1978 Excellence in Design Award,
AIA Chicago
“A refreshing and highly-imaginative solution; a
straightforward warehouse of books with
little pretensions from our industrial society."

Student Survey Results
Private study rooms would be great…
Increase study carrels…
I couldn’t find any place to sit today… more tables
and chairs, please!
Additional power outlets for our laptops would be so useful…
We need more computer stations…
Great libraries are the foundation of great academic institutions.
