Make Use of Outside Air
If your building has windows that open, you can often cool it with fresh outside air. 

In the evening, you can pre-cool your space in preparation for the next day's activity. 

If you enjoy cool nights for a good portion of the summer, you should think about installing a large exhaust fan (usually in the roof or attic) to rid the building of accumulated heat.
