Modular Multifaith Spaces For Sports Clubs

Multifaith Spaces For Sport

Reflecting changes in our cultural makeup.

You might not have heard of Multifaith Spaces before, but you may be familiar with the concept of Prayer Rooms. Perhaps you’ve seen them in airports, or Universities, or at some larger local government facilities.

As the cultural makeup of the UK changes, it’s vital that our infrastructure keeps pace. Cricket has recently seen a reckoning for failing to properly accommodate people of different faiths and backgrounds; by investing in a multifaith space, you can demonstrate to your community and customers that you’re ready to welcome them, whoever they are.

Multifaith Spaces: A Primer

The idea of a Multifaith Space is simple; it’s a quiet, dedicated area in your wider facility where people of differing faiths can come together and spend time in contemplation or prayer. There’s no set standard to what constitutes a multifaith space or prayer room – it can be as small or as large as is felt is needed and contain more or less any equipment that might assist in users communing with their religion.

Multifaith spaces offer a spiritual haven in a secular society. Perhaps more importantly than that, they are an obvious and clear indication that people of all different backgrounds, creeds, faiths, beliefs and ethnic groups are welcome and included in the community of your club.

A multifaith space need not necessarily be a place entirely dedicated to worship. Indeed, research from the University of Manchester suggests that the spaces operate best when seen as ‘not only as symptoms of wider societal and religious dynamics but also as agents that influence relationships between religious and secular worlds.’

By working to put aside space where communities can come together to reflect on their shared-but-different faiths, clubs and venues can signal that they are committed to working towards a culture of acceptance and equality.

Solution: Custom Built Modular Multifaith Rooms by Rise

Our modular Multifaith Room Pods are built with convenience and comfort in mind. As they don’t generally require complicated sewerage works, disruption at your venue can be kept to an absolute minimum.

Our Pods come in a variety of different configurations. You can combine the benefits of a Changing Places toilet with a small multifaith space by opting for a CP+1 pod, or install an entirely dedicated multifaith space pod large enough to accommodate 5-6 people at once – the choice is yours, and configuration options almost endless.

Though a fantastic and economical option, sometimes a modular build isn’t quite the right fit for a certain location. In those circumstances, we’re more than ready and able to adapt an existing space on your site or build you an entirely new structure through conventional building methods.

Whatever format you decide on, you can be assured of complete control over the aesthetics of your completed space – from exterior finish, to key internal art, to flooring and much more.

Whether a pod or traditional build, our design process hands you the captain’s armband. Choose every element yourself, or let us choose for you – we’re here to adapt to your needs.
