While certain areas of Temple Square remain closed for renovation, visitors can enjoy the Conference Center, Tabernacle, Church History Museum, Church History Library, and FamilySearch Library and the newly renovated Main Street and Church Office Building plazas.
Renovation work on the Salt Lake Temple’s six spires is complete, with scaffolding now removed to reveal the restored towers atop the temple. Over 6,000 stones were removed in early 2020 to allow for this extensive restoration. Each stone was cataloged, stored, cleaned and returned to its original location.
The temple’s spires have been strengthened for seismic resistance, with steel plates installed within each spire. Each stone was meticulously reinstalled and securely anchored to a new steel framework designed to fortify the historic structure.
Work continues on the Salt Lake Temple’s two entry pavilions, where steel support structures have been installed to uphold stone cladding along the exterior walls. The design of the pavilion interiors will reflect the temple’s Victorian-era style.
Temple Square remains open to the public, and the Conference Center (just north of the temple) serves as the main arrival center for Temple Square visitors.
