The Cambridge Central Mosque is Europe's first eco-friendly mosque and the first purpose-built mosque within the city of Cambridge, England.

 

 

In 2009, Marks Barfield Architects won the competition with their calm, oasis concept of a British Mosque for the 21st century – Europe’s first eco-mosque.

 

The £23m project, opened its doors in April 2019 and since then has won a host of architectural accolades, including Architect’s Journal (AJ) Best Community and Faith Project 2019, Brick Development Association (BDA) Best Public Building 2019 and four Structural Timber Awards 2019, including Project of the Year. More recently, Cambridge Mosque has won RIBA East Project Architect of the Year, Building of the Year, Client of the Year and Regional Award and was shortlisted for the 2021 RIBA Stirling Prize.
