Utah Tile & Roofing continued their longstanding partnership with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints through their work on the Church Office Plaza renovation, a signature project located in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City. Serving as the primary exterior gathering space for the Church Office Building, the plaza sits atop an expansive underground parking structure, making waterproofing performance and longterm durability essential. Drawing on decades of experience with LDS projectsincluding the Conference Center and the Provo Tabernacle renovation—Utah Tile & Roofing delivered a comprehensive, highperformance solution tailored to the plazas architectural and functional demands.

The renovation encompassed more than 200,000 square feet of plaza deck, all of which received Hydrotech Monolithic Membrane 6125 waterproofing, Hydroflex protection sheet, and Hydrodrain/Garden Roof components. These assemblies were selected for their proven longevity, monolithic application, and compatibility with both hardscape and vegetated roof systems. The project also extended into the adjacent Main Street Plaza, integrating water features, pedestrian pathways, and landscaped areas that required careful detailing at transitions, planters, and structural interfaces. Because the plaza connects directly to Temple Square—one of Utah’s most visited public spaces—maintaining a seamless aesthetic while ensuring robust waterproofing performance was a central priority.

Executing the work over an active parking structure required meticulous coordination, phased access planning, and continuous collaboration with the general contractor and design team. The resulting plaza is both visually refined and technically resilient, supporting daily foot traffic, event use, and yearround landscaping needs. Utah Tile & Roofings contribution to the Church Office Plaza renovation reinforces their reputation for craftsmanship, reliability, and excellence on some of the LDS Churchs most prominent and demanding projects.
