Missoula Montana Temple Foundation Work Progresses

Foundation work is progressing at the Missoula Montana Temple site, where concrete walls have been added to the structural steel framework at the center of the building. This area will house the baptismal font in a recessed, basement-level space, allowing the top of the font to align with the main floor. Elsewhere on the site, work continues on installing the footings that will support the main floor walls, establishing the foundation for the next stages of construction.
