Temple Square Plazas Completed and Transformed

As part of the Salt Lake Temple renovation project, the Church Office Building and Main Street plazas had their landscaping, planters and walkways cleared to the concrete decking (a parking garage is underneath). The two-year project gave the plazas a new look while paying homage to this area of Temple Square's storied past. Watch to see why the undertaking was necessary and what special improvements have transformed this part of the iconic campus into a more aesthetically pleasing and meaningful sanctuary.

Breathtaking re-imagining of this sacred space. Massive respect to everyone involved in this beautiful project. I worked in the COB for 22 years, and am happy for those who continue to do so, and have this stunning area to enjoy on a daily basis. 🥰

Beautiful. I especially love the stone showing Isaiah 2:2. The mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. We can see this scripture come to pass with our own eyes. Incredible for those that can see and hear truth.

Truly Beautiful, and as a born and raised Oregonian I loved hearing about the trees! I can't wait to visit the new plaza at some point!

How wonderful. I'm so glad to see the progress being done on the Salt Lake Temple. My wife and I were married their several years ago and it holds a special place in our hearts.

I miss working at the Church Office Building. Walking through the plaza brought the Spirit every morning.
