Introduction

The John Hancock Center has now been renamed as "360 Chicago Observation Deck". It is a famous skyscraper located in Chicago, Illinois, USA, commonly known as "Big John". The building is 343.5 meters (1,127 feet) tall, with an antenna reaching up to 457.2 meters, and has 100 floors with a total area of 260,126 square meters. Construction began in 1965 and was completed in 1969. At that time, it was the tallest building in the world outside of New York City. The 44th floor of the John Hancock Center has the highest indoor swimming pool in the United States. On the 94th floor, visitors can climb up to the observation deck and enjoy a 360-degree view of Chicago and Lake Michigan. In addition, the Signature Room on the 95th floor and the Signature Lounge on the 96th floor are a high-end restaurant and a bar, respectively. At night, looking out from high up on Big John, the view of the city and lake is truly wonderful.
