Meridian Temple
Meridian, ID
The multi-level Meridian Temple is the fifth dedicated temple in Idaho. The design includes above-standard seismic code requirements, which help buffer from an earthquake. The exterior cladding connects to the steel frame, which discharges energy through motion and acts as a cushion. A 21,000 SF meeting house and utility building were also included in the project scope. The project won ENR Mountain States 2018 Best Cultural/Worship Project award.
