The Green Room  

The Green Room is our main Muslim prayer space on campus, open Monday to Friday 11.00 - 23.00 and located on the side of the Conference Auditorium, behind the Edge. It offers separate prayer rooms, ablution and washroom facilities for brothers and sisters, and has disabled access and washroom facilities. Email Equality and Inclusion Unit: equality@leeds.ac.uk or Leeds University Union Islamic Society: info@leedsisoc.com to ask for the access code for the Green Room.

Cemetery Lodge – fully closed for refurbishment 

Cemetery Lodge is closed for refurbishment to create a better-equipped and more welcoming prayer and study space for our Muslim community. Work is due to be completed in 2025.  

Temporary Prayer Space during refurbishment of Cemetery Lodge 

From 4 November 2024, new temporary prayer space and ablution facilities will be available in the basement of the Chemical and Process Engineering Building, open Monday to Friday 11:00 – 17:30. This includes accessible prayer and ablution facilities. The access code for the prayer space entrance is available from the Student Information Service either by sending an email from your university email address, or by showing your student/staff ID at the Student Information Point in the foyer of the Chemical and Process Engineering Building, or at any of the other Student Information points.

This new space replaces the temporary prayer space in the School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering and the cabins next to the Medical and Biological Engineering Building which will be closed from 2 November.
