The body of the temple is 120 feet high. After designing this height, the architects discovered that local building ordinances allowed for only 120 feet.

The spires reach a maximum of 288 feet. All lighting that illuminates the temple at night is pointed upwards, suggesting eternity and infinity.

A special yearly treat for visitors is the Christmas lights installed throughout the grounds, along with special Christmas exhibits.

Each year the lights debut at a special lighting ceremony, where a visiting dignitary gets to activate the switch.
