MTC in Utah to Expand

The First Presidency has announced plans to expand the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah, to accommodate increasing numbers of missionaries.

The expansion will add three new buildings and raise the MTC’s capacity from three thousand to four thousand missionaries.

Included in the expansion plan are:

—A new multipurpose building for orientation meetings, devotionals, firesides, conferences, and physical fitness facilities;

—A four-story residence hall; and

—A four-story classroom building.

The buildings will be constructed south of the administration building in an area that is now devoted to landscaping and parking.

In connection with the expansion, a new entrance to the MTC will also be constructed.
