Helsinki Finland

1995-2006 (ST Gen 5 & 5A)

Generation 5

Description

A second variation of the Generation 3 plan, this floor plan was designed to be a larger version of that same plan. The extra space can be found in rooms throughout the temple, with changing rooms, admin spaces, and ordinance spaces all being larger than those found in the Generation 3 plans.

There are 2 variants of this floor plan. The first of which, by about 6 months, was the Columbia River Washington Temple. It shows one major change from the Generation 3 plan, with the entrance and baptistry being swapped. This puts the entrance of the temple right in line with the endowment and celestial rooms, on one end of the temple. Other than that, the layout of the temple is more or less the same as the Generation 3 plan.

Generation 5A

This variation on the Generation 3 plan is more of a direct enlargement of the original plan. The layout has the entrance on the side much like the original small temples do. All plans of this variant have the baptistry to the left of the entrance, and the rest of the temple to the right. In all cases, the spire is inline with the entryway.
