The University has Muslim prayer rooms on the top floor of the Union Building, and in the Scott Building, Faculty of Medicine. These rooms are specifically set up to face Mecca, and the Scott Building prayer room has washing facilities available.
There is also a prayer and meditation room for people of all faiths (or none) on the top floor of the Union Building. This room is for quiet prayer and meditation but can be booked for small group prayer sessions or Bible study.
Who is this available to
All students, staff, and visitors on the University's Dunedin campus.
