San Antonio Central Library (Ricardo Legorreta)

The San Antonio Central Library was designed by Mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta and opened in 1995. The building is noted for its bold color palette, geometric forms, and a large central atrium that distinguish it as a significant example of late-20th-century civic architecture in the city. It houses the main collections and administrative offices of the San Antonio Public Library system and is frequently cited in discussions of modern architectural landmarks in San Antonio.
