Summary
The Salt Lake Temple just got a seismic superhero upgrade — a brand new base isolator system that lets it glide safely during earthquakes. After 20 years of planning and 6 years of construction, crews removed over 1,500 bolts to free the temple to move independently in a quake. This isn’t just a big deal — it’s a historic preservation milestone. Meanwhile, the iconic oak doors are back in place, and inside, new carpets and chandeliers are being installed. Once finished, the temple will host a public open house from April to October 2027 — with reservations opening September 1, 2026.
