Work has begun on attaching precast panels to the exterior walls of the Torreón Mexico Temple. The panels were cast with moldings that case the windows and doorways. Decorative window headers were also incorporated into the design. The frame for the portico is a prominent feature at the front of the building. The temple reached its two-year groundbreaking anniversary last month.

The concrete foundation for the Cody Wyoming Temple has been installed, and a telescoping crane is preparing to lift the building components (or modules) into place. The modules were manufactured at an off-site facility and delivered to Cody almost two years ago. They will be secured to the foundation at specific locations and stitched together to form the occupied portion of the building. Steel framing of the upper walls and steeple will follow.

Heavy framing continues inside the Anchorage Alaska Temple to form the load-bearing walls and steel rafters for the roof. Wood framing for the grounds building is progressing simultaneously at the northeast corner of the property. The window openings are being boarded or covered with plastic sheeting in preparation for enclosing the structure and commencing work on the interior.

The prefabricated modules for the Port Vila Vanuatu Temple have been secured to the concrete foundation. Windows have been installed in both the temple and the two-story accommodation center. Framing for the roof of the new meetinghouse is also underway. It is the first temple to be built in the island country of Vanuatu where members are organized into two stakes and two districts.
