The Main Street Plaza on Temple Square is now closed to the public. Renovations to the plaza will enhance landscaping and fountain areas to provide a consistent look and flow through Temple Square.
Just east of the Main Street Plaza, work on the Church Office Building plaza is making significant progress. Bright orange snow-melting conduit is being installed under freshly poured sidewalks in some areas — providing snow-free walkways. New stonework is also being placed in some of the walls near State Street.
On the south side of the temple, excavation has started to prepare for two new buildings that will provide additional guest experiences and services for visitors to Temple Square.
On the north side of the Salt Lake Temple, crews are beginning construction of the second floor of the temple addition by building sheer walls around the whole perimeter of the addition. This addition will accommodate three floors of new temple space — including baptistries, sealing rooms, dressing rooms, administrative offices and so forth.
