Construction completed in April on a new solar-powered meetinghouse for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Farmington, Utah, its first in the Northern Hemisphere.
The 20,000-sq-ft meetinghouse is one of five prototypes developed by the church to showcase its environmental stewardship, according to church officials. The church is constructing four similar LEED-certified prototypes in Utah, Arizona and Nevada, including two additional solar-powered buildings.
