Facts
The garage was the first of several themed garages in downtown Chicago, with speakers on each floor playing a song about a different city (e.g. Moon over Miami) to help parkers remember their location.
Contains a 10-level parking garage, several car rental agencies, and a rapid transit station serving 4 lines including trains to both airports.
The office floors are built arount a 12-story atrium on the east side and a 4-story atrium on the west. Each is capped by a large sloping skylight.
The garage on the lower half has long ventilation slots in its facade, which are mirrored by painted "slots" in the office floors on top.
The building is connected through a tunnel to the Thompson Center, and by bridge to the 200 North Dearborn Apartments.
