Landscaping work is progressing at the Orlando Florida Temple as crews prepare planting areas and install landscape features throughout the grounds. Majestic palm trees frame the temple’s elegant façade and soaring steeple, lending the property a distinctive Florida feel. Inside the temple, extensive renovations are underway to bring the facility to current standards while refreshing interior finishes, systems, and sacred spaces in preparation for its reopening.

The two freestanding spires on the northwest side of the Stockholm Sweden Temple have been erected, and scaffolding has been removed from the partially completed principal spire at the main entrance. On the southeast side of the temple, a dedicated entrance for baptistry patrons has been incorporated into the design. Scaffolding remains around the main body of the temple as crews advance work on the façade.

At the Port Vila Vanuatu Temple, temporary lighting illuminates the steeple at night, highlighting its graceful design against the dark sky. Light from within the building indicates that interior construction and finish work are progressing. East of the temple, a two-story ancillary building will provide arrival facilities and accommodations for patrons traveling from distant islands and communities. Work is also progressing on the adjacent meetinghouse, which will serve local congregations for Sunday worship services and weekday activities.

At the Santa Cruz Bolivia Temple site, crews have installed the permanent ornamental fencing around the property, which is currently screened with black fabric as landscaping activities continue. Terracotta roof tiles are being secured to the pyramidal roof atop the steeple, complementing the roofing already in place over the temple’s wings. Exterior wall cladding has been completed, giving the building a finished appearance. Construction has now been underway for nearly two years.
