The Tempe Municipal Building is the city hall of Tempe, Arizona. It is notable for its inverted-pyramid shape.

Designed by architects Michael Goodwin and Kemper Goodwin, and built 1969-71, the unique shape of the steel-and-glass building was designed to conserve energy by keeping the building cool in hot weather and warm in cold weather. This is achieved by the pyramid’s 45-degree angle to street level, allowing it to gain maximum sun in the winter and minimum heat in the summer.

The ground floor comprises 188.1 sq. m of reception space, the first floor is 522.6 sq. m, and the second floor is 930 sq. m. Council chambers are included in a semi-buried basement level.

It is constructed of a steel frame which supports thick panes of tempered glass. The building is flanked by free-standing fire stair towers, and a concrete plaza of exposed aggregate radiates out from the pyramid.

Recognised as a local landmark, in 2010, the building received the 25-Year Award from the Arizona Society of the American Institute of Architects, in part for its innovative sustainable design.
