Temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

The Farragut Municipal Planning Commission unanimously approved the site plan for the Knoxville Tennessee Temple at its commission meeting last month. Commissioner Noah Myers said, "This is going to be a heck of an architectural piece in the Town of Farragut…It’s pretty awesome." The granite-veneer building will stand 122 feet high, and the grounds will feature walking trails along the length of its Kingston Pike’s frontage and Fleenor Road frontage, as well as connections into the site with trails and sidewalks.

Church headquarters has released the official exterior rendering for the Knoxville Tennessee Temple. The single-story building will be constructed on a wooded 4.99-acre site in the suburb of Farragut at 13001 Kingston Pike. Detailed plans for the 30,000-square-foot temple are still underway, and no groundbreaking date has been announced.

The location of the Knoxville Tennessee Temple was announced in a Church news release today. The wooded 4.99-acre site is situated in the suburb of Farragut at 13001 Kingston Pike. Plans call for a single-story temple of approximately 30,000 square feet. It will be the third temple constructed in the state, joining the Memphis Tennessee Temple and Nashville Tennessee Temple, both dedicated in 2000.
