The renovation of the Orlando Florida Temple has entered its third year as steady progress continues on both the building and its surrounding grounds. The temple's familiar exterior remains largely unchanged, but extensive work is underway inside to modernize the building infrastructure, refresh the interior finishes, and enhance the sacred spaces for future generations of patrons. Exterior efforts are focused on site improvements, where newly planted palms, shrubs, and groundcover are becoming established throughout the property.

Construction of the Neiafu Tonga Temple has entered its final stages as crews focus on completing the building's interior. Finish work is progressing throughout the temple, including the installation of light fixtures, mirrors, tile, millwork, and other architectural elements.

Dates for the public open house and dedication will be announced once construction is complete.
