Assembly Hall on Temple Square Construction Update

The foundation of the Assembly Hall on Temple Square has been exposed, allowing crews to fortify the structure with shotcrete (or sprayed concrete).

The Gothic Revival building was originally constructed as a place of worship for local congregations. It was completed in 1882 using stone from the same quarry used for the Salt Lake Temple.

Nowadays, the Assembly Hall is used for lectures, recitals, and free weekend concerts featuring international artists. Renovation of the historic building and its surrounding gardens is expected to be completed in 2026.
