The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints provided an update on Temple Square renovations Tuesday, along with new ...

The new temple would face the Salt Lake Valley to the east, with the spire on the same side. The rendering showed a structure very similar the Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple, less than 10 miles away.

At very rear of the temple is a sutra repository built against a cliff. On the western side are rockeries, pavilions and mountain vegetation; all contribute to the beauty of the garden-like setting.
