Project Detail
Goodwood Islamic Centre, Leicester
Small Non-Residential Scheme of the Year Award 2020-2021 Finalist
Goodwood Islamic Centre is both a place of worship and a community centre. The mosque and community hub has also been designed to support interfaith initiatives.
The building serves different generations of more than 500 families and the balance between classical/modern & Western/Islamic influences has been carefully considered.
The attention to detail, from the subtle choices of external materials to the ornate interior, are a complex reflection of this. The building is funded by the local community and the sense of participation and ownership of the design throughout the building is clear.
Project Overview
Goodwood Islamic Centre replaced the existing buildings on the site. It includes prayer, education and amenity areas.
Key to the project was an understanding of the funding and phasing of the scheme. Constraints included the orientation of the Centre and the requirement to retain the existing facilities during construction.
The ground floor accommodates the main prayer hall with class spaces accommodated on the upper floors. The Centre incorporates several access points to allow independent operation of the prayer hall, madrasah classes and women’s facilities.
