LDS Conference Center
Salt Lake City, UT Project Role: Exterior design, detail, documents Owner: LDS Architect: ZGF Architects Contractor: Legacy Constructors (Jacobsen, Layton and Okland) |
The LDS Conference Center, the world's largest auditorium, is a statistically staggering edifice, with a 1.4 million gsf floor area, seating for 21,200, garden roof covering 3 acres, and a 621 ton king truss supporting the radial roof trusses which ensure unobstructed views throughout. The Conference Center's design was marked by a dynamic, iterative and multivalent design process with LDS' leadership participation throughout. Significant additions, both programmatic and aesthetic, extended into and beyond document completion. Construction was equally exceptional, with several Utah-based, national and international General Contractors joining forces to meet an aggressive project schedule.
