This was built to accommodate the local members, Orem. Once it was finished, the Provo Temple was closed. They are rebuilding that Temple.

This is nicely located on the side of the freeway, and it is stunning when it is lit up at night. The grounds are nicely laid out and offer beautiful views of the surrounding area.
