Construction Status

Project leaders are working with city officials to coordinate planning for the Lindon Utah Temple. No groundbreaking date has been announced, but it is anticipated to occur in 2022.

Temple Design

The Lindon Utah Temple will be a three-story building of approximately 81,000 square feet with double spires of equal height.¹ The main entrance to the granite-clad building will be on the north end with a baptistry entrance on the south. The ordinance spaces include four instruction rooms with 50 seats each, four sealing rooms, and two baptistries. The temple will feature art and ornamentation that celebrates the area's agrarian roots including the linden tree flower. The landscaping will include a gathering area in the northeast corner of the property where bridal parties can take photographs with a backdrop of the temple or of beautiful Mt. Timpanogos. Parking will surround the temple in a circular fashion with a black ornamental fence surrounding the entire site. A 1,500-square-foot maintenance building will also be constructed.
