The Rexburg Idaho Temple temporarily closed on Wednesday evening after an HVAC issue caused the building’s air conditioning system to stop functioning. The temple doors closed at 5:00 p.m. for repairs, and it was closed for much of Thursday with the hope of reopening on Friday. Members and patrons are encouraged to check the temple’s current operating status for updates as technicians work to restore the system.

The work of enclosing the Winchester Virginia Temple is underway. Steel studs are being fastened to the structural framing, followed by the placement of bright yellow sheathing boards that form the outer walls of the building. Once installed, the sheathing is coated with a waterproofing sealant that changes the surface color from yellow to gray, creating a weather-resistant barrier for the temple exterior.

The official exterior rendering for the Greenville South Carolina Temple has been added to the location announcement published on the Church Newsroom on Tuesday. The design features classical architectural elements, including a pedimented entrance supported by columns and an ornamented steeple with a white tower body and metal-clad spire. A date for the groundbreaking ceremony has not yet been announced.

Scaffolding has been erected at several locations around the Neiafu Tonga Temple as crews complete the remaining exterior finish work. Soft landscaping has also been established across the temple grounds, which adjoin the campus of Church-owned Saineha High School. Neiafu, located in the Vavaʻu island group, is the second-largest town in Tonga after the capital city of Nukuʻalofa on the island of Tongatapu, where the nation’s first temple was constructed.
