Fort Collins Colorado Temple
The Fort Collins Colorado Temple is a temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Fort Collins, Colorado. Completed in 2016, the intent to construct the temple was announced by church president Thomas S. Monson on April 2, 2011, during general conference. The temple is the second in Colorado.
The temple has a single attached central tower with a statue of the angel Moroni. A groundbreaking ceremony, to signify the beginning of construction, was held on August 24, 2013, conducted by Ronald A. Rasband.
The temple was announced by Thomas S. Monson on April 2, 2011. The temple is on the southeast corner of the intersection at Trilby Road and Timberline Road, across the street from one of the church's chapels in Fort Collins. The 42,000-square-foot (3,900 m2) structure served the needs of more than 20,000 church members in Northern Colorado, Western Nebraska and Southern Wyoming at the time of its completion.
The developers applied to rezone the land. The property was originally zoned to support only homes and neighborhood centers that, act "as a focal point for neighborhood activity," and may include, "a grocery store or supermarket and other neighborhood oriented retail services." Due to an intergovernmental agreement between the Larimer County and the City of Fort Collins, the developer first pursued the rezoning through Larimer County, followed by an annexation and rezoning process through the City of Fort Collins.
In November 2011, the city planning board in Fort Collins recommended annexation and rezoning of the proposed temple site. Work on the temple commenced with a groundbreaking ceremony conducted by Ronald A. Rasband on August 24, 2013.
As construction progressed, the temple was vandalized on August 23, 2015, along with other places of worship in the local area. On August 26, 2015, a statue of the angel Moroni was put in place.
After construction was completed, a public open house was held from August 19 through September 10, 2016, excluding Sundays. The temple was dedicated by Dieter F. Uchtdorf, of the church's First Presidency on October 16, 2016.
The building has a traditional Latter-day Saint temple design. Designed by Architectural Nexus and Aaron Arbuckle, its architecture reflects both the cultural heritage of the Fort Collins region and its spiritual significance to the church.
