The following are the latest renderings of the proposed plans for Temple Square and the Main Street Plaza.
The main renovation work on the Salt Lake Temple continues.
The area where the North Visitors’ Center was previously located is now being refilled with soil to build up a level surface for future construction of additional restrooms to support events in the Tabernacle and Assembly Hall and the drilling of a new water well.
A fourth concrete pour was completed in early March that finished the bottom floor of the North Temple addition. This new footing is 42 inches (1 meter) thick and heavily reinforced with steel. The construction of shear walls and columns to support upper floors has also begun.
On the Church Office Building plaza, snow melt conduits are being placed underneath where walkways will be poured with concrete.
