The Work of Temple Construction


Consider 17,096 exterior stones, 47 miles or nearly 250,000 linear feet of wood, 4,668 cubic yards of concrete, 407 tons of structural steel, 80 miles of electrical wiring, and 184 individual doors. These numbers describe some of the construction details involved in building the Oquirrh Mountain Utah Temple. The supply list would not differ much in quantity from any other construction project of more than 61,000 square feet, but temple construction projects operate on one noticeably differing principle: prayer.
