The Jordan River Utah Temple, originally constructed between 1979 and 1981 and dedicated on November 16, 1981, as the seventh temple in Utah, underwent a complete 149,000-square-foot renovation. The comprehensive scope included significant seismic upgrades and a full replacement of the temple’s mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. The renovation also encompassed a complete replacement of all interior finishes, modernizing the sacred spaces while preserving their reverent character.
A key feature of the infrastructure upgrade was the installation of a turbine-driven cogeneration system, designed to produce the majority of the electrical power needed to serve the temple. The exterior work involved the meticulous repointing of the original concrete precast panels and the careful refurbishment of the temple's distinctive dalle de verre artistic glass. The project was successfully completed, and the temple was rededicated on May 20, 2018, ensuring the landmark’s longevity and enhanced functionality for decades to come.
