Our facilities for faith observation and faith activities

Newcastle University provides a Muslim prayer space in the King George VI. This is accessible to all colleagues and students, using a smartcard. Newcastle University manages the space, in accordance with the Faith Space Policy.   

There are two quiet rooms available in the Urban Sciences Building, which can be used for prayer and reflection.
