The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints unveiled plans Wednesday for renovation of the St. George Temple, which will include seismic upgrades, new heating and cooling systems, landscaping and partial demolition and rebuilding of the temple annex.
“This is one of the beautiful, premier temples in the church,” Brent Roberts, managing director of the church’s special projects department, said in a news release. “Latter-day Saints have worshipped here for almost 150 years. However, the building has worn out over time, and it is once again time for us to refresh and strengthen this historic structure for future generations to enjoy.
