Chicago Public Library, Chinatown Branch

Unveiled in August 2015, this South Side Chicago Public Library branch is unlike any other in the city system. It’s 16,000 square feet, two stories and features a feng shui-influenced interior, and striking views of the Chicago skyline. The branch also includes Chinese language materials and a mural by CJ Hungerman entitled “Universal Transverse Immigration Proclamation,” an ode to the neighborhood’s history and character.
