The Provo Utah Temple, situated at 2200 Temple Hill Dr, Provo, Utah 84604-1766, is a beautiful temple with an impressively stunning backdrop. The extensive grounds are decorated by mountain breezes and flowers, shrubs as well as trees that offer shade to visitors on their journey through this spiritual building experience. The location of the east bench near Rock Canyon means members have access not only to nature but also to some lovely views across it.
Across the street from this temple is an educational institution that trains thousands of young missionaries who will eventually serve around the world. The BYU campus borders it to the southwest, providing students and church members alike with access to their respective needs as they prepare themselves before serving God wherever He wants them in His name.
This is the 6th temple built in Utah and the first to be erected within the borders of Utah county. Constructed at an imposing height that can house six instruction rooms with great ease (for those who have Completed their Duty), this impressive yet elegant edifice stands out amongst all others as unique among four other such temples: The Ogden UT; Jordan River UT., Washington DC Temples share similar properties while differing greatly through additional features or designs based on geographic location respectively).
The Provo Utah Temple and the City Center Temple were both built in this beautiful city. The second pair of temples after 1981’s Jordan River Temples, these two new buildings welcome visitors from all over to experience their iconic architecture.
The Provo Utah Temple was designed with an angel Moroni atop a gold-colored spire. The original design included this statue, but it eventually became unnecessary and thus removed from the finalized concept for renovation purposes over 31 years after its dedication as part of smithing projects in 2003, which also changed both color schemes: one from a golden hue to pure white upon updating what had been originally planned back then when they first started construction on these temples decades ago.
The Provo Utah Temple’s groundbreaking ceremony was held just one week after their counterpart in Ogden, marking not only a historical event but also an incredible example of unity and perseverance. The first time that two temples were planned/built at once has never happened before.
More than 70,000 people attended the Provo Utah Temple’s dedication in just two sessions. The temple was also held at various other venues around campus—including seating attendees from George Albert Smith Fieldhouse to Joseph Smith Building (Language Training Mission).
