All Temples have ...Forgive the run on sentances...<br /><br />All Temples have Mechanical Space for Air handling equipment and Font Equipment (Water pumps and purifiers.) <br /><br />Larger Temples will also have Larger spaces for larger Air handling equipment, Laundry, which is usually a bigger space than you would expect, a Basic Machine shop for around the temple repairs. <br /><br />Electrical equipment space is neccesary, as the electrical demands are bigger for large temples.<br /><br />Emergency/Fire suppression equipment will need more space, as code demands massive backup systems for larger buildings, and the basic system has to be bigger as well.<br /><br />You may find simple server space (Nothing really fancy, just a basic server,) And an office for security. <br /><br />Plus a receiving bay for Laundry and font chemicals, Additional Administrative space for Temple use and other rooms for basic storage.<br /><br />Holiday equipment is not, that I am aware of, stored in the temple, most temples store it offsite in an auxiliary building, the same place as the grounds keeping equipment. There may be exceptions to that, but all the ones I can think of off the top of my head will store it outside of the temple.<br /><br />Backup generators are typically not placed within the temple. They must be outside as they are gas powered. They also like to put them away from the temple for noise reasons.<br /><br />In the case of PCC Temple, the mechanical building and space under it will probably not be dedicated as part of the temple. (Dedicated, yes, but not as part of the temple.) This is done so that personnel who come out to service the equipment need not be endowed members of the church to get to the equipment. Also, separating the support equipment from the temple itself reduces noise inside the temple.Brian https://www.blogger.com/profile/03431265608355674972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599222840274804102.post-70956256821837275432014-06-26T13:25:06.876-06:002014-06-26T13:25:06.876-06:00Julie,

The first time I saw it used was with I-15 prior to the Winter Games in SLC.<br /><br />JohnAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10525534816667848558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599222840274804102.post-433635427828025742014-06-25T22:11:19.071-06:002014-06-25T22:11:19.071-06:00Oakland has a whole floor below the bottom floor, ...Oakland has a whole floor below the bottom floor, plus a mechanical building down the hill. Temples need a lot of mechanical space because they have lots of unusual things, like fonts, that need equipment to maintain them. Also I believe most temples have backup generators. In the case of Provo City Center I believe some of the space in the mechanical building will actually be used for grounds equipment and to store Christmas decorations.The Cannon Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03343309653489638507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5599222840274804102.post-89382212805509579582014-06-25T21:00:33.728-06:002014-06-25T21:00:33.728-06:00I have been told that all temples have these mecha...I have been told that all temples have these mechanical areas and while they stay very clean, they are extremely useful. Space in the temple and surrounding underground area is prime, and I'm quite positive that it's not going to be used for anything except temple-related purposes.

The mechanical shop wich is storing large heating or cooling equipment, the mechanical space that occupies most of lower lever 2, and the large mechanical area to the west of the basement. I wonder if some of the mechanical space will actually be a server room for the temples inter web situation. Easy access to fiber optic lines makes the location prime, plus several other businesses have main servers located in Utah County like Target, not to mention the NSA. I know this is a random comment, but do you have any idea of what all the mechanical spaces will be used for?Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03077666685588405842noreply@blogger.com
