Window tracery and ornamental panels are being installed on the west side of the Provo Utah Rock Canyon Temple. Decorative tracery now fills the upper portions of the arched windows, while spandrel panels conceal the floor line where the third level intersects the exterior wall system. Stone cladding continues along the first story of the temple, and additional hardscape elements—including stair railings, planters, and boulders—are also being installed.

A temporary dewatering system is in place at the Heber Valley Utah Temple site where shallow groundwater is being extracted into nearby Lake Creek. The dewatering process poses no flood risk and does not impact the deep aquifers used for irrigation and drinking water. Once the foundation is in place, active pumping will transition to a passive, gravity-fed French drain system. New excavations are taking place at the west end of the property.

Light-gauge steel framing is advancing at the Winchester Virginia Temple, where crews are installing steel studs to define the exterior walls of the structure. The framework of the entrance portico is clearly visible, establishing a prominent architectural feature at the main entry. The temple’s overall form is becoming increasingly defined and recognizable at its location on Merrimans Lane.

A fourth tier of the retaining wall system is now being installed at the north end of the Lehi Utah Temple site, located northwest of the intersection of Center Street and 3950 North in Lehi. Preliminary site development has been underway for approximately eight months, encompassing earthwork, utility installation, and excavation for the foundations of the temple and accompanying meetinghouse.
