Salimullah Muslim Hall

Salimullah Muslim Hall, Student residence at University of Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Salimullah Muslim Hall is a student residence at the University of Dhaka built as a quadrangular structure with two floors arranged around a central courtyard. The building contains dormitory rooms, dining areas, common rooms, study spaces, and prayer facilities linked by covered passages.

Dhaka University opened in 1921 with three halls; the Muslim Hall then occupied the first floor of the Secretariat House, housing 75 of 178 Muslim students. As residents grew to 127 by 1923–24, house tutor M. F. Rahman pressed for a separate building. Architect Gwyther designed it, the Bengal government funded it in 1927, Messrs Martin & Co. built it, and it was inaugurated on 11 August 1931.

The hall is named after Nawab Sir Khwaja Salimullah Bahadur. Its name is tied to the Calcutta University Commission's recommendation that Muslim students have a hall to maintain their own culture and religion. The hall has its own written history by Syed Abul Maksud.

The building sits within the campus and is easily accessible by foot, with the courtyard layout making navigation straightforward. Keep in mind this is an active residential facility, so access to common areas and private spaces follows specific guidelines.

The southern entrance features two square towers topped with yellow-tiled domes, while corner projections display distinctive triple domes resting on square bases. These architectural elements add an unexpected decorative touch to the otherwise straightforward structure.
