Despite their perceived extinction thousands of years before America was even discovered, the United States continues to have a fascination with “modern pyramids.” Some of the more notable ones include Pyramid Arena in Memphis, Tennessee or the Luxor Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip. A third pyramid is found south of Los Angeles in Long Beach, known as the Walter Pyramid. 

The Pyramid was opened in 1994 at a cost of approximately $22 million. It was originally known as the Long Beach Pyramid, but later became the “Walter Pyramid” on March 5, 2005 as Mike and Arlene gave the athletics program a donation that significantly surpassed all others in school history. 

If you are a “mathlete,” you can appreciate this “true” pyramid as each side measures 345 feet. Driving past, you’ll quickly notice the cobalt blue exterior made from aluminum. Locals can notice it from the 405 freeway and many points in Long Beach as it rises 18 stories beyond the skyline. It is said that the building uses 18,000 steel tubes and connection modules, held together by over 160,000 three-quarter inch bolts.
