Students’ Union President Harry Newman said having such a space has been an ambition of various faith groups for some time now. He has been lobbying the University for better prayer facilities across the campus and said, “it made sense for us to lead by example.
“I am very keen that it remains a multi-faith space, but all credit to Danyal Faraz Alauddin of the Islamic Society for encouraging us to prioritise it.”
He said the main role would be to provide a space for any Cardiff student who wants a quiet space in the centre of the campus to come and pray.
When asked whether there might be any controversy surrounding the space, Harry said, “I hope not. This is an example of where the Union provides for the diverse needs of our diverse population. It is nothing but positive and is already improving many studentsÔÇÖ experiences here.
“I am very pleased that the gair rhydd has told our students about it.”
