The 1,000 sq m. two storey Faith Centre will provide a community space, congregational hall, separate male and female Muslim prayer rooms, Christian and multi-faith room, separate male and female Wudu rooms and a Chaplain's office.
Additionally, the Faith Centre – which will meet the global WELL standard - will also incorporate learning and support areas, an equipment store, and accessible male and female toilets.

External remodelling will also see existing road networks be pedestrianised, enabling the £4.5 million Faith Centre to serve as a focal point of the campus.
The build programme will be overseen by project director James Garnett and is set to complete in autumn 2022. It is the latest collaboration between Morgan Sindall Construction and the University, following the completion of the Barbara Hepworth Building in 2019 and the Oastler Building in 2017.
Additional projects Morgan Sindall Construction has worked on for the university include the MIAMI-2 facility, The Institute of Railway Research and the renovation of a Grade II-listed former bath house into an attractive and unusual gallery-cum-coffee house and restaurant.
