The Musalla is located on the edge of the University of Melbourne campus, in the city centre. It is next to Melbourne Business School and it Law School. According to Rahmat Bayudi of Desypher Architecture, Planning, & Urban Design,Â
the musalla was commissioned by the University of Melbourne to include a prayer space for 300, with dedicated ablution areas for men and women, a facility for the disabled, and a small resource centre.Â
The main prayer hall incorporates a modern take on traditional inscription bands, with a transliterated calligraphic screen displayed behind a screen of steel mesh. The ceiling domes accommodate sensor-operated extraction fans for air exchange; the areas for men and women are divided by a flexible partition, and the lighting system adjusts to balance with the level of natural light from the south-facing windows.
