The Hamilton New Zealand Temple closed in 2018 for a series of renovations, including seismic strengthening and upgrades to its mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems. Other changes included a new roof and an accessible entrance to the baptistry. The inside furnishings, landscaping and parking lot also all received a refresh.
The First Presidency announced in April that after nearly four years of closure, the Hamilton temple will be rededicated Sunday, Oct. 16, by Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles. The public open house begins Friday, Aug. 26, and runs through Saturday, Sept. 17.
