Parkway Construction & Architecture served as general contractor for the comprehensive renovation of the San Diego California Temple for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Originally dedicated in 1993, this iconic structure underwent a major multi-phase renovation to preserve its architectural integrity while modernizing its systems and interiors for future generations. Parkway implemented a carefully phased approach that honored the site’s cultural and symbolic significance while coordinating closely with specialty trades and design consultants to ensure smooth execution.
The 72,000 square-foot renovation included extensive exterior work—cleaning, sealing, and restoring the temple’s signature marble finish—alongside interior upgrades such as AV systems, room refinishing, restroom modernization, and kitchen decommissioning. In total, 144 original art glass windows were fully restored. Parkway worked in close collaboration with Church leadership, consultants, and trade experts to execute the renovation safely, efficiently, and with craftsmanship befitting this sacred site.
