New Willamette Valley Oregon Temple Dedicated in Springfield — A 30,000 SF Landmark Four Years in the Making

The Willamette Valley Oregon Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will be dedicated on June 7, 2026, in Springfield, Oregon — the third temple in the state, following those in Portland and Medford, and designed to serve more than 30,000 church members in the central-western part of the state. The 30,000-square-foot temple sits on 10.5 acres and was announced in April 2021, with groundbreaking in October 2022 — completing a nearly four-year construction journey that included a public open house drawing thousands of visitors from across the region in late April and early May 2026. For Oregon construction professionals, the project is a reminder that institutional and religious construction continues to represent a meaningful and often overlooked segment of the state’s building activity — particularly in mid-size communities like Springfield that are experiencing steady population growth alongside their larger neighbors.
