In a staging area next to the Lethbridge Alberta Temple, crews have framed and sheathed the main body for the steeple that will rise above the front entrance of the building. The temple’s concrete structural walls are in place, and exterior finishes are underway. The bare concrete is covered with a waterproofing membrane and insulating layer before the stone cladding is installed. Work has already begun at the northwest corner.

Early construction activity is progressing at the Fairview Texas Temple site, where utility infrastructure is being established across the graded property. Trenches and excavated utility corridors are visible around the future footprint of the building, as crews prepare the site for foundation work and vertical construction. In the distance, the skylines of communities within the Dallas–Fort Worth metropolitan area can be seen silhouetted against the hues of the setting sun.

Stone cladding is being installed on the upper sections of the steeple of the Ribeirão Preto Brazil Temple, further defining the building’s vertical profile. At ground level, newly installed picket panels for the metal fence can be seen along the edges of the property, with many of the panels still wrapped in protective plastic. As exterior finish work progresses, the temple is taking on an increasingly refined and completed appearance.

Prominently featured at the main entrance of the newly clad Knoxville Tennessee Temple are gold-colored entrance doors that create an elegant focal point for the façade. Decorative art glass will be installed behind the clear glass panels in both the entrance doors and the arched transom window above. As Tennessee’s third temple nears completion, it will serve members throughout East Tennessee and the surrounding region. Dates for the public open house and dedication will be announced once construction is complete.
