Salaam Centre feature - show you the second hall overlooking the prayer hall
Latest news and forthcoming talks at the Salaam Centre.
We hope you enjoy this February 2023 Update.
In February, we made rapid progress in the Salaam Centre development, alhamdulillah!
The building is now racing to the sky as the first floor now cast and the second floor taking shape.
Our contractors, TNV, pulled in long hours to ensure the vast first floor section was in place with 280m3 of concrete poured in a single day.
Now, a lift shaft and columns are appearing on the second floor and slab work will commence in March.
Significantly this month we gave the go ahead for the manufacture of Krion external cladding materials from Spain. With its bespoke design based on our values, the material will wrap around the Salaam Centre and contribute to its iconic design.
The entire project team has been engaged in agreeing details of the façade glazing and cladding which we shall bring further news upon in the coming months.
SALAAM CENTRE SHOWCASE
The Second Hall
This month, in our preview of what to expect from the Salaam Centre, we showcase the Second Hall, which will be situated on the second floor.
This hall overlooks the beautiful prayer hall and has space for hundreds to join in Salaat. The area is over 180m2 in size and has been adapted to ensure the space can be used in many different ways.
To consider naming this hall, or other parts of the Salaam Centre, contact us at office@thesalaacentre.com
We have recently had visitors to site - including Dr Azhar Barkat Asaria who was able to walk on the second floor! Please do come along and have a look at the fantastic work!

ENTREPRENEUR'S EVENT
The second Fireside chat took place on 26th February and was with Amazon Bestselling Author Hassan Kubba, who discussed ‘Unfair Advantages’ and how we can leverage them as a community. We had an excellent turnout and great feedback on the event!
DENTAL EVENT
On 29th January, we welcomed a group of dental professionals for an event looking at Adhesion Made Easy. The session was led by Dr Salman Pirmohamed and the attendees visited the Salaam Centre site after the talks.
