The first US college to open mosque on campus, Georgetown University has dedicated space to open worshiping place for Muslim students.

Yarrow Mamout Masjid – the first mosque on a U.S. college campus with ablution stations (places for ritual washing), a spirituality and formation hall, and a halal kitchen. 

The official opening was March 18, though the mosque originally opened its doors in the fall of 2019. Its construction and design were completed this year.
 
The university said, in an announcement, that a mosque builds on the university’s commitment to interfaith understanding and care for the whole person in creating sacred spaces on campus and community for students of all faiths.

The facility “provides a space for reflection, prayer, community and interfaith dialogue for Muslim and non-Muslim students at Georgetown.”
 
Georgetown University was the first U.S. university to hire a full-time Muslim chaplain, 24 years ago.
 
The mosque offers the traditional five daily prayer services, as well as educational programming and spiritual discussions.
 
It is one of seven sacred spaces on Georgetown’s main campus — and one of three spaces for Muslim students to pray across Georgetown schools, including Muslim prayer rooms in Georgetown Law School and the School of Medicine.

The new mosque is named for Yarrow Mamout, an enslaved man who bought his freedom, contributed to the neighborhood of Georgetown, and continued to deepen and practice his Islamic faith in the 18th century.
