At the Jacksonville Florida Temple site, grass sod has been laid around the retention pond, and masonry walls are rising for the grounds maintenance building. Pier-supported footings are being formed for the temple’s structural walls and columns, while preparations continue for construction of the partial basement walls. Jacksonville is the largest city by area in the contiguous United States and the most populous city in Florida.

Scaffolding has been erected around the steeple frame atop the Londrina Brazil Temple in preparation for stone cladding. With the main body of the temple now enclosed in stone panels, work is advancing to the upper architectural elements. The exterior floodlighting currently in use enhances site security while offering a preview of the building’s future architectural illumination. Landscaping is progressing across the grounds with the planting of trees.

It has been just over a year since the groundbreaking ceremony was held for the Birmingham England Temple, and construction continues to move forward steadily. The structural frame for the temple is now in place, marking a significant milestone as work transitions to framing the exterior walls and interior spaces with light-gauge steel. Behind the temple, construction is also underway on an ancillary building that will provide arrival facilities and patron accommodations.

Site preparations are underway on the 16.74-acre property where the Osaka Japan Temple will be constructed. The site, formerly occupied by a campus of Osaka International University, once featured several multistory buildings that have since been demolished, leaving only a retaining wall and staircase. Plans call for both the temple and an ancillary building to be constructed on the property, though a groundbreaking date has not yet been announced.
