Church officials today held a press conference on the temple grounds that included representatives from the church's hierarchy as well as city officials.
The changes to the structure, originally dedicated in 1972, include a major overhaul of both the interior and exterior, giving the building a whole new look, officials said.
One of the changes to the 131,000-square- foot facility is a reworking of the temple's entrance.
The new entrance will face east rather than west, officials said.
