DURHAM -- The Muslim community at Duke University now has a place to gather on campus, as the school celebrates the opening of the Muslim Life at Duke building.

The center is located on Swift Avenue, which is just off Highway 147. Officials say they want to use the Muslim Life at Duke facility to welcome everyone who considers themselves Muslim as well as those who are curious about the faith.

Duke’s Muslim chaplain says students will be able to participate in book clubs, weekly gatherings and cultural events. There will also be classes for music, dance and cooking ethnic cuisine.

The grand opening will begin with a reading from the Koran followed by a call for prayer recited by Muslim students. The event starts at 3 p.m. and is free and open to the public.
