HOLINESS TO THE LORD
THE HOUSE OF THE LORD

"We must build more temples, and we must build them more quickly. This is the season to build temples. They are needed, and we have the means to do so. The Lord will hold us accountable if we do not work with greater accomplishment than we are now doing."
—Gordon B. Hinckley

Precast Panels Advance on the Tampa Florida Temple

Precast concrete panels continue to be installed across the exterior of the Tampa Florida Temple, giving the building greater definition and steadily enclosing its structural frame. Inside, construction is advancing in the basement, where interior framing is underway alongside the installation of mechanical, plumbing, and electrical systems. The concrete base for the baptismal font has also been poured, establishing the foundation for one of the principal ordinance spaces.
