Designed by Dub Architects, the building was completed in 1992. It was built to replace the former city hall after it had become outdated and expensive to operate.[4] The Edmonton Transit System Customer Services centre relocated to City Hall in February 2013.[5] DesignThe building features two steel and glass pyramids, one 43 metres high (ground to peak), on top of a three-storey concrete structure. One pyramid provides natural light for the main atrium, the other for the council chambers.[6] The building also features a 200-foot clock Friendship Tower topped with a set of 23-carillon bells.[7] Located on the eastern edge of the financial district in Edmonton's downtown, the building is the main feature on Sir Winston Churchill Square. In the winter, the fountain is converted to a skating rink. The design for the city hall met with some controversy when it was first announced. The original design called for the building to be topped with four cones. The cones were meant to pay tribute to the tipis that the First Nations once lived in on the site. The design met with negative feedback from the public as they felt it looked like dunce caps and nuclear reactors.[8] Dub Architects then revised their design to replace the cones with the pyramids, with the pyramids designed to be evocative of the Rocky Mountains. The design was received much more warmly by the public, and was dubbed "Pyramid Power" by the press.{{Citation needed|date=July 2011}} GalleryReferences1. ^1 {{cite news |last=Jimenez |first=Marina |title=Civic pride swells at opening of city hall |date=August 24, 1992 |newspaper=Edmonton Journal |location=Edmonton, Alberta |page=B1 }} 2. ^{{cite web |url=http://metronews.ca/news/edmonton/350280/edmontons-city-hall-turns-20/ |title=Edmonton’s city hall turns 20 |last=McIntyre |first=Heather |date=August 27, 2012 |work=Metro Edmonton |publisher=Free Daily News Group |accessdate=June 28, 2014}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.sodcl.com/building/04-civic-&-government/40-edmonton-city-hall.php |title=Edmonton City Hall |publisher=Stuart Olson Dominion |accessdate=June 28, 2014}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www2.canada.com/edmontonjournal/news/story.html?id=53175c9b-cfed-486b-82c5-6bc2c2b4fbba |title=Edmonton's 1957 City Hall |last=Herzog |first=Lawrence |date=August 10, 2011 |work=Herzog on Heritage |publisher=Edmonton Heritage Council |accessdate=June 28, 2014}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.edmonton.ca/city_government/news/2013/ets-customer-services-centre-moving.aspx |title=ETS Customer Services Moves to City Hall |author=City of Edmonton |date=February 15, 2013 |publisher=City of Edmonton |accessdate=April 10, 2013 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://archive.is/20130628052056/http://www.edmonton.ca/city_government/news/2013/ets-customer-services-centre-moving.aspx |archivedate=June 28, 2013 |df= }} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.cisc-icca.ca/projects/alberta/Edmonton%20City%20Hall/|title=Edmonton City Hall|publisher=CISC-ICCA|accessdate=April 28, 2009 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120207015235/http://www.cisc-icca.ca/projects/alberta/Edmonton%20City%20Hall/ |archivedate=February 7, 2012}} 7. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.edmonton.ca/attractions_events/city_hall/features.aspx |title=Features of City Hall |publisher=City of Edmonton |accessdate=June 28, 2014}} 8. ^{{cite web |url=http://www2.canada.com/edmontonjournal/news/story.html?id=53175c9b-cfed-486b-82c5-6bc2c2b4fbba |title='Our favourite building' puts on a party |last=Kent |first=Gordon |work=Edmonton Journal |publisher=Canada.com |date=August 29, 2012 |accessdate=June 28, 2014}} External links
