Mobile Government Plaza

Mobile Government Plaza is an administrative building in Mobile featuring two connected towers of varying heights. It houses courtrooms and judicial offices in one section while administrative departments and municipal offices occupy the other, united by a large glass-enclosed interior atrium.

The structure opened in 1994 as the winning design from a nationwide architectural competition. Its creation marked a shift toward consolidating multiple government functions under a single modern facility.

The building brings together multiple government offices and courts in one location, creating a central hub for local administration. Visitors can observe how the two towers organize different departments and reflect the city's governance structure in its physical design.

The building is clearly organized with signage marking the court areas and administrative offices in separate towers. The glass-enclosed atrium serves as an orientation point and is generally accessible to the public during business hours.

The building stands as one of Alabama's tallest structures and its twin-tower design makes it instantly recognizable in the skyline. Few visitors know the facility emerged from over 195 submitted designs in a competitive selection process.
