Minarets and small domes mark the corners and flank the main entrance of the mosque. Striated masonry with alternating rusticated yellowish-white sandstone and greyish-white smooth limestone reminiscent of the desert covers the walls. A running band of deep green ceramic tile decorates the frieze and the fibreglass domes are golden-hued. Within, the mosque’s prayer hall is positioned beneath the large dome on an axis directed east toward Mecca and accommodates one thousand people, with the women’s area in a balcony. The centre has a banquet/social hall and auditorium, classrooms, and facilities for ritual ablutions. Glittering crystal chandeliers and marble floors lend a sumptuous appearance to the interior. The mosque was designed by Paul Bertin and David Donnellon, and built in 2005 by Alan Abbas and Luna Construction.
