Heber Valley Utah Temple Basement Construction Progress
Work is advancing on the basement level of the Heber Valley Utah Temple, where the concrete walls are nearing completion. Moisture sealing is being applied to the exterior surfaces to protect the structure from water intrusion. Inside the basement, electrical conduits and plumbing pipes have been installed beneath the future floor slab, while additional gravel is delivered by conveyor boom, spread, and compacted to create a level base for the concrete pour.
Exterior Cladding Advances at the Birmingham England Temple
Stone veneer panels are being installed across the exterior of the Birmingham England Temple, covering the bright orange sheathing boards. Extensive scaffolding surrounds the structure, providing crews with temporary platforms as installation progresses. The temple is being constructed as part of a redevelopment of the property, which was formerly occupied by the local mission offices. Construction began in March 2025.
Lethbridge Alberta Temple Rises as a West Lethbridge Landmark
Rising in West Lethbridge at a prominent bend in the Oldman River, the Lethbridge Alberta Temple continues to take shape as work progresses on the building's exterior and surrounding grounds. Crews are installing exterior stonework, while finishing work is being applied to the spire frame positioned on a nearby staging pad. Concrete planters have been established around the temple entrance as site development moves forward.
Landscapers Beautify the Grounds Around the Beehive House
Landscaping work is progressing around the Beehive House as improvements continue to the grounds surrounding Temple Square.

The sixth and final episode is scheduled for release in April 2027, coinciding with the opening of the Salt Lake Temple to the public.
