Jaffari Community & Cultural Centre
Located on an environmentally sensitive site adjacent to a tributary of the East Don River, this new education and cultural centre provides an expanded community focus and centerpiece for one of the Muslim communities in the Greater Toronto Area. Our master plan design recognizes the natural beauty of the site in an attempt to create a campus of buildings, each with a unique yet complementary character. The initial phase is comprised of a multi-purpose community hall to accommodate 2000 people, mosque and recreation/leisure rooms. Utilizing a module system, the hall is subdivided into 4,000 square foot rooms capable of operating simultaneously. The design of the building also allows for the future construction of an elementary school.
