This two-story addition known as Rockdale Pavilion compliments the current chapel and office wing of the Rockdale Temple. The ground level includes a multi-purpose social hall that seats up to 100 at tables or 150+ in theater seating. The hall has the capability to be divided into smaller areas and opens onto an outdoor patio area. The complex received a new and unique entryway which glows at night thanks to specialty lighting. Outside, the entryway is home to a memorial garden which recognizes those who have donated to the Biblical Garden. The upper level of the facility is comprised of an open, atrium-style mezzanine overlooking the ground level below, and is home to the Rockdale Library.
