Skylight over Circular Stair-2000

An unbelievable surprise delight snuck in amongst the bookstacks. Kudos to John Portman. The circular stair below this conical skylight is reminiscent of those found in old traditional library bookstacks, and further entices students and public to explore the entire collection.
