SALT LAKE CITY — Renderings for the Provo Utah and Smithfield Utah temples have been released by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

During the 191st Semiannual General Conference in October, Church President Russell M. Nelson announced the Provo Utah Temple will be reconstructed once the Orem Utah Temple is completed.

The Smithfield Utah Temple was announced in April 2021 and Church officials said the three-story, 81,000-square-foot temple will be constructed on a 13.3-acre site at the intersection of 800 West and 100 North.
