A Glass Window in an Underwater City

In this scenario, an underwater city is a collection of domes interconnected by tunnels 17 feet wide and 17 tall. The largest of the city's domes is 71,000 square feet in area and 137 feet tall. The city is situated 500 feet beneath the surface.

When you descend deeper into water, it becomes imperative that you shrink the size of the glass windows to make sure that they don't crack under pressure.

In a dome of that size at 500 feet below sea level, how big and how thick must each window be?
