The Salt Lake Temple and Temple Square are now 3 years into construction on a 5-year renovation project. Work on the plazas is scheduled to be completed in the fall.
SALT LAKE CITY — The Salt Lake Temple and Temple Square are now three years into construction on a five-year project — and some of the areas are scheduled to be completed this year.
In the areas directly around the temple, work began on guest experience pavilions south of the temple, and on the three lower floors of the temple addition, which will be just north of the temple. The lower floors will include two new baptistries, sealing rooms, dressing rooms and administrative offices.
Three additional lower floors of the Temple are formed during the Temple Square renovation project in Salt Lake City, earlier this month. During 2023, crews should be installing structural steel frames inside the tower spires of the temple and will be reinforcing stone walls and towers with vertical drilling and post-tensioned cables connected to the foundation. Crews should also begin installing the base isolator system which would serve as bearings during an earthquake.
Waterproofing and heating conduit are installed under the Church Office Building plaza during the Temple Square renovation in Salt Lake City, earlier this month. ; closures to these buildings are expected to last into 2025.
