Visit the McMaster Student Success Centre’s Ramadan Prayer Spaces page for more information on these and other spaces on campus, including rooms in Hamilton Hall and MDCL, as well as designated spaces at the Ron Joyce Centre and the David Braley Health Sciences Centre.

These spaces are designed to support the spiritual well-being of all students, staff and faculty, providing a peaceful environment for prayer, meditation and reflection.

These spaces are also available throughout the year. The extended hours and additional support during Ramadan have been coordinated by the Spiritual Care and Learning Centre in consultation with the Muslim Students Association and McMaster Students Union.
