Landscaping Efforts Progressing on the Ephraim Utah Temple Grounds

On the Ephraim Utah Temple grounds, grass sod has been laid for the front lawn and in the park strip along the north property fence. Lamp posts have been installed next to the driveways and walkways, and trees, plants, and mulch are filling the parking lot islands. In the areas immediately adjacent to the temple, hardscape structures are being clad, and the soil is being prepared for plantings.

Paving the Realigned Road at the Vancouver Washington Temple Site

Paving of the realigned portion of Bybee Road has begun next to the Vancouver Washington Temple site. A detention pond has been installed at the north end of the property, and preliminary excavation for the temple foundation is underway. Once the new section of road has opened, the old section will be removed and become part of the temple site. The groundbreaking ceremony is scheduled for Saturday, August 23, 2025.

Using Insulated Concrete Forms to Build the Kona Hawaii Temple

Reconstruction of the Kona Hawaii Temple is utilizing insulated concrete form (ICF) blocks to erect the building's structural walls. The interlocking foam blocks feature hollow centers with rebar guides to hold the reinforcing steel bars in place. Concrete is poured into the foam blocks, which are left in place, serving initially as forms and then as insulation for the structure. Waterproofing and air barrier systems will also be used to protect the building from the humid climate.
