In the game
The postmodern glass building and its huge atrium are closely reproduced as the Carding Center.
History in brief
Designed by Helmut Jahn and opened in 1985 as the State of Illinois Center, its 17-storey atrium was famous for being hard to heat and cool. The state sold it in 2022.
The place today
Google bought the building and is rebuilding it as its Chicago offices, so it may be closed or under works.
