A massive new £17 million mosque in Cambridge is taking shape – with the golden dome now up. This picture shows how the construction of the building – which had been estimated to cost £15 million – moves on apace and is set to open next year. …A statement by the project organisers said: “Work on the timber elements of the prayer hall is now complete, and the studwork partitions for the male and female ablution areas are in place. “This week the master-craftsmen of Blumer-Lehmann begin work on the ‘trees’ of our magnificent atrium, together with the teaching zone and the cafeteria.” …The dome is made out of cross-laminated timber harvested from sustainably-managed forests. The contractors will add a gold-coloured cladding material and a crescent.
