The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ Philadelphia Temple was a joint venture project between Big-D Construction and LF Driscoll. The 61,466-sf, granite-clad temple is the first temple built in Pennsylvania and located in the Center City District, diagonal to Logan Square. The temple features architectural elements that complement the classic architecture of the neighboring historic buildings. The temple has premium, Level 5 drywall finishes including plaster interior trim and finish. Stained glass panes run the length of the building, which is surrounded by a landscaped plaza featuring a reflecting pool. The project scope included a multi-level sub-grade parking structure. Challenges included a highly constrained urban site which the team mitigated by working closely with the City to ensure construction did not disrupt traffic, closing sidewalks, and constructing protective walkaways to protect curious onlookers during construction. Parking was also a challenge, especially for our trade partners, and many of our tradesmen rode public transportation to the site.

The Ogden Temple &amp; Tabernacle project was a major renovation of both the buildings on the same site and construction of new two-level parking structure. The Temple received a complete overhaul. Two thirds of the structural frame was removed and only the center section remained before construction began to complete the massive concrete walls on the east and west side of the building. The interior was gutted down to the basement, including the slab-on-grade, to prepare for a new subterranean drain system. Interior space layouts remained largely the same, some rooms were reconfigured, and Big-D updated all interior design and auxiliary systems with modern, energy-saving equipment. All of the mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and audio-visual systems were removed and upgraded. The adjacent Tabernacle was also a major renovation. The tabernacle interior was gutted to make way for new ceiling, walls, and projections. All mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and A/V components were replaced with more efficient and advanced systems.
