Completed in 1991, The Harold Washington Library Center is the central library for the Chicago Public Library, and was at one time one of the world's largest libraries. Its architecture incorporates a number of design elements inspired by other famous Chicago buildings.

*UPDATE 1: Fixed and improved normals. Smoother brick normals, better stonework normals at the base, normal directions working on all sides, and the sculptures on the roof have more normal detailing added so they have more depth and the details show more.

*UPDATE 2: Further fixed and some smoothed normals. Minor added details and tweaked textures. Old low-detail interior replaced with more detailed, accurate, and expansive interior with more windows made of clear glass for a better look and to allow enterprising players nice views from the building.

*UPDATE 3: Changed from a University to a Public Library that works as an actual library now.
