Details for the construction of a new one-story Church of Latter-Day Saints Temple in northeast Colorado Springs show a 45,000-square-foot structure on an 18.6-acre site.
The project is a sign of the church’s increased footprint in the West and was originally announced in the fall of 2023 by President Russell Nelson.
Last week the church inaugurated a 90,000-square-foot, three-story temple in Syracuse, Utah. At the same time, plans for a nearly 31,000-square-foot temple in Fairview, Texas, after months of discussion, were approved by the town’s council. The Fairview facility will make the church’s eighth temple in Texas.
Plans are also underway for the Arizona construction of temples in Flagstaff, Queen Creek, and Yuma.
The new Colorado Springs temple, set for construction near the intersection of Flying Horse Club Drive and Barossa Valley Road, will also include a meeting house and adjacent utility building.
The project, which will mark the fourth such temple by the church in Colorado, will include a meeting house and adjacent utility building.
