It s seen as the educational centre of North East Scotland thanks to the presence of both the University of Aberdeen and Robert Gordon University.

The project site is centrally located in Aberdeen. So far, a building has been secured, private funds have been pledged, and this will be combined with an extension (consents granted) to offer extensive facilities for the new community centre. This imaginative urban regeneration project, as a result of private investment, will physically improve the area. We also hope that the masjid and community centre will serve to nurture a sense of harmony in the local community pre-construction 25 - work in progress The main facade is the face of the building, it will convey the buildings identity and express its relationships to its surroundings.

This can be confusing, so the interior design scheme has to be clear and consistent so that the experience of the masjid is harmonious and pleasant.
