The two dedicatory services were broadcast to several large auditoriums on the BYU campus, including the 22,700-seat Marriott Center.

Emil B. Fetzer, the architect for the Ogden and Provo temples, was asked to create a functional design with efficiency, convenience, and reasonable cost as key factors.

[8] The structure stands four stories tall, constructed with precast concrete, gold anodized aluminum grills, and bronze glass panels.

The exterior is characterized by its rounded shape, single spire, and Gothic-like arch designs, each chosen for their symbolic significance and alignment with temple traditions.

The interior features murals, crystal and glass chandeliers, and gold detailing, found throughout the temple, designed to create a spiritually uplifting environment.

Symbolic elements are integrated into the design, providing deeper meaning to the temple's function and aesthetics.

Incorporated into the design are symbolic elements representing the Bible and Book of Mormon which provide deeper spiritual meaning to the temple's appearance and function.

In this temple, the central spire was originally painted gold to symbolize the pillar of fire by night set upon a large white building that represented the pillar of cloud by day, referring to the Israelites in their exodus from Egypt spoken of in Exodus 13:21-22.

In the temple, baptismal fonts rest on the back of 12 oxen, symbolizing the twelve tribes of Israel.

[9] Over the years, the Provo Utah Temple has undergone several renovations to preserve its structural integrity, update facilities, and enhance its spiritual and aesthetic appeal.

Thirty-one years after the temple's completion, a statue of the angel Moroni was added to the spire, which itself was changed from gold to white.

The Ogden and Provo temples were built at the same time with similar designs to increase efficiency and economize the building process.

[22] A temple is where church members go to make sacred promises, or covenants, and perform ordinances for themselves or on behalf of their deceased ancestors.

[23] In large part because of its location across the street from a Missionary Training Center and proximity to BYU, the Provo Utah Temple was one of the church's busiest.
