Landmarks

Provo Utah LDS Temple

The Provo Utah Temple is located at the base of Rock Canyon in Provo. Due to its proximity to Brigham Young University and the Missionary Training Center (MTC), just across the street, this temple is among the busiest the LDS Church operates.[7]

Brigham Young University

Provo is home to Brigham Young University, a private university operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. BYU (occasionally referred to as "BYU-Provo" after Ricks College became BYU-Idaho in 2001) is the second largest private university in the country, with more than 34,000 students. It is the flagship of the Church Educational System of higher education. The large population of students makes Provo a "college town". Provo's ambiance differs from other college towns, however, since the majority of its students are LDS - the Church does ban the consumption of alcohol at BYU resulting in BYU being consistently rated the number-one "stone-cold sober" university in the United States, by The Princeton Review.[8] The campus also is home to the Spencer W. Kimball Tower, the tallest building in Provo.[9][10]

Most BYU students live near BYU's campus. BYU requires that single students live in approved, non-coed housing, with BYU-approved standards that include the prohibition of smoking, alcohol, pre-marital sex, and other regulations as well. New rules keep apartments from being "BYU-approved" if they are more than two miles (3 km) from the eastern corner of campus. There are currently more student housing apartments under re-construction.

LDS Missionary Training Center

Provo is also home to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' largest Missionary Training Center (MTC). Each week some 475 LDS missionaries enter for 3 – 12 weeks of training before they depart for the mission field; becoming part of over 50,000 in more than 120 countries. Presently, about 1,100 instructors (many returned missionaries) teach 62 languages. The center in Provo began construction in July 1974 and completed in July 1976. The MTC was expanded in the early 1990s, becoming the largest of 17 such centers in the world.[11][12]

Before joining IDC in December 1983, Mr. Billings was Senior Executive Vice President and General Manager of CalDisk, a manufacturer and worldwide supplier of rotating memory storage products for computer applications.

The current Police Chief of Provo is J. Craig Geslison, a 31-year veteran of the Provo Police Department. He was hired in April 1978. Chief Geslison served four years as a patrolman and then spent two years as the Provo Police Department's first full-time Crime Prevention and Community Relations officer. Chief Geslison was promoted to Sergeant in 1984 where he served in detectives, patrol and dispatch divisions. He was promoted to Lieutenant in 1988, where he served as a watch commander, and was appointed a Captain in 1994.

How much snow is there right now in the Provo Utah area? How much snow?
Q. Also will I probably need tire chains on interstate 15 coming up from the LA area?
Asked by Kingocal - Mon Dec 24 05:08:07 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. We just had a storm on Friday. But the roads are pretty clear now. There is still quite a bit of snow here, but not on the roads. there is talk that it will snow again, but hopefully not. I would bring the chains just in case. Better to be safe than sorry. It is really freaking cold by the way. Merry Christmas and enjoy the freezing beauty of utah!
