Contractors, consultants, and Church headquarters staff have conducted assessments of buildings on Temple Square and Church headquarters following Wednesday’s earthquake. Thankfully, there was no structural damage to any buildings in that area. All buildings at Church headquarters have reopened, although they remain closed to the public due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Several Church facilities on Salt Lake City’s west side – including the Humanitarian Center and Deseret Manufacturing facility – appear to have sustained structural damage which is currently being assessed. The Beehive Clothing manufacturing plant also sustained some damage to the interior of the building. All those facilities remain closed until further notice.
