Temple Square Renovation

Throughout November, crews began demolishing the North Visitors Center at Temple Square. This area will be replaced with a garden space featuring clear views of the temple.

It will also consist of additional restroom facilities to support events in the Tabernacle and Assembly Hall.

In the area north of the temple, excavation is underway to accommodate three additional floors of the temple addition.

This is to consist of two baptistries, added sealing rooms, dressing rooms and administrative offices.

Crews commenced laying concrete to create a “working slab.”|

Excavation is continuing on the north side of the temple as workers deepen the retaining walls.

The “jack and bore” process ensues which consists of inserting large pipes under the existing footings of the temple.

These pipes are heavily reinforced with steel and filled with structural concrete to act as supporting beams beneath the existing foundation of the temple.

On the temple roof, preparation is underway to commence the work of vertically drilling inside the tower and wall columns.

At the building plaza area, waterproofing is continuing on the Church Office Building plaza area.
