Let BTOP$\DeclareMathOperator\B{B}\newcommand\TOP{\mathrm{TOP}}\newcommand\PL{\mathrm{PL}}\newcommand\BTOP{{\B}\TOP}\newcommand\BPL{{\B}\PL}$Let $\BTOP$ and BPL$\BPL$ be the classifying spaces of topological/PL-sphere bundles and $TOP/PL$$\BTOP/\BPL$ the homotopy fiber of the map $BPL \to BTOP$$\BPL \to \BTOP$. TheThen $TOP/PL$$\TOP/\PL$ is a model for a $K(\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z},3)$ by Kirby and Siebenmann. This identifies a third cohomology class as obstruction to get a PL-structure on a topological sphere bundle.
