The Orem Utah Temple is a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints under construction in Orem, Utah. Plans to construct a temple in Orem were announced on October 5, 2019 by church president Russell M. Nelson, during the Saturday Women's Session of General Conference.[4][5] The Orem Utah Temple will be the first in the city of Orem, the sixth in Utah County and the 22nd in the state of Utah.[citation needed]
On December 11, 2019, the church announced it would be built on a 16-acre site owned by the church. The site is south of the University Parkway exit of Interstate 15 on Geneva Road,[6] near the Orem UTA Frontrunner station.[6][7] Plans for the temple indicated that it will be a three-story, 70,000 square foot building.[8] The church also anticipates construction of a 20,000 square foot meetinghouse on the same property.[8]
On June 24, 2020, the church announced that the groundbreaking for the temple would be held on September 5, 2020.[9][10] Craig C. Christensen, president of the church's Utah Area, presided at the ceremony.[11] It is anticipated construction will take three years, with completion expected by fall of 2023.[12]
On July 25, 2022, a fire broke out in a utility room on the third floor of the temple.[13][14] The Orem Fire Department put out the fire using mostly foam to limit water damage to the structure.[15] On September 6, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives announced the fire was being investigated as an arson, and offered a cash reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible.[16]
