Fort Collins Colorado Temple

The Fort Collins Colorado Temple is a modern religious building constructed with light-colored concrete panels and features a central tower approximately 112 feet tall crowned with an angel Moroni statue. The structure spans roughly 42,000 square feet and is designed with clean lines typical of contemporary Mormon temple architecture.

Construction started in 2013 with an official groundbreaking ceremony and the temple opened to the public in 2016. The project was developed to serve the growing community across Northern Colorado, Western Nebraska, and Southern Wyoming.

The temple has served as a gathering place for the local religious community since its completion. Members use it regularly for worship services and important life ceremonies that mark family milestones.

The building is located on elevated ground east of downtown Fort Collins and is visible from multiple directions. Visitors should plan for ample parking and note that access may be limited during religious services or special events.

The project required zoning changes and community meetings to address concerns about traffic and environmental effects. This collaboration with local residents became an important aspect of how the building was approved and integrated into the area.
