On the north end of the Austin Texas Temple site, a precast concrete wall is being constructed along the property line, located behind the grounds maintenance and services building. The temple exterior is in various stages of finishing with the main floor walls sheathed and wrapped with a weather-resistive barrier, while stone cladding progresses on the east side. Sheathing of the steeple frame is also underway.

At the southwest corner of the Provo Utah Rock Canyon Temple, the first pieces of granite cladding have been secured to the exterior over the past couple of weeks. On the grounds, precast blocks are being stacked to create a series of low retaining walls around the viewing platform at the northeast corner of the property. To enclose the interior, the rough openings are being covered with plastic or installed with window units.

Crews at the Tarawa Kiribati Temple construction site heft a pump hose to guide the liquid concrete being poured for the foundation walls. The prefabricated modules that will be anchored to the foundation have been staged at a location near the Bonriki International Airport. Installation of the modules is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2026. An all-terrain crane with a 223-foot hydraulic boom will be used.

The front portico of the Smithfield Utah Temple has seen the recent addition of three hanging light fixtures, each one aligned with one of the three arched openings. On the grounds, signage has been posted for handicap parking, lamp posts have been installed, and benches have been placed in the gathering plazas. A tent has been staged on the north side for crews to carry out work in a temperature-controlled setting.
