The Provo Utah Temple (formerly the Provo Temple) was a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints located in Provo, Utah, just north of Brigham Young University (BYU). The intent to build the temple was announced on August 14, 1967, by Hugh B. Brown and N. Eldon Tanner. The church's temples are a sacred space where church members make covenants and perform ordinances for themselves and their deceased ancestors.[1] The temple was designed by architect Emil B. Fetzer and was dedicated in 1972 as the church's seventeenth constructed and fifteenth operating temple.[2] It was the sixth temple built in Utah, and the first in both Utah County and Provo.[3]
A groundbreaking ceremony, to signify the beginning of construction, was held on September 15, 1969, conducted by Brown. The site was also dedicated on the same day by Joseph Fielding Smith. It was built with a modern single-spire design, similar to the original design of the Ogden Utah Temple. The spire is on top of a rounded base constructed on a rectangular foundation.
In 2021, the church announced plans to reconstruct the temple after dedication of the Orem Utah Temple.[4] The temple closed for reconstruction in February 2024. In the same month, the church announced that following reconstruction the temple will be known as the Provo Utah Rock Canyon Temple.[5][6]
