Austin Texas Temple Exterior TakIng Shape

The exterior wall surfaces of the Austin Texas Temple are being clad with light-colored, variegated stone panels, characterized by classical detailing including cornices, pediments, and columns. The stone is cut into rectangular panels with tight joints to create a flawless façade. A darker stone course is planned for the base of the temple, which will visually anchor the structure to the ground.

On the grounds, most of the hardscape has been completed, and preparations are underway for the softscape.

An Aerial Perspective of the Tarawa Kiribati Temple

With an average width of only 450 meters (500 yards) and rising some 3 meters (10 feet) above sea level, South Tarawa is a string of coral islets in the South Pacific that offer a unique setting for a temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Tarawa Kiribati Temple is being assembled with prefabricated modules. The majority of the module's interior is completed in the factory, leaving about 30 percent of the finish work to take place on site. In addition to constructing a temple, the Church is supporting the residents of Kiribati by providing solar-powered desalination plants that produce clean drinking water.
