Joseph Smith Building, Religious education building at Brigham Young University, Provo, US
The Joseph Smith Building is a university building on the Brigham Young University campus designed for religious education and academic study. It contains classrooms, faculty offices, research centers, and features a central courtyard as its focal point.
The original structure dating back to 1949 functioned as a student center before its demolition. The current building was dedicated in 1991 as a replacement that served the university's evolving needs.
On Sunday mornings, student groups gather here for weekly religious services and prayer. The building serves as a spiritual center where faith and academic life come together for the university community.
The building has an auditorium and underground parking available for campus users and visitors. Plan your visit during regular weekdays to see the space when it is actively used by students and faculty.
The building contains facilities rarely found in typical academic spaces, including a baptismal font for religious ceremonies. Inside, a mural displays scenes from the life of the building's namesake through his spiritual experiences.
