Ismaili Centre, Toronto, Islamic cultural center in Don Mills, Toronto, Canada

The Ismaili Centre features a glass crystalline dome with steel trusses, incorporating an eight-sided pattern across its modern architectural structure.

The center opened in September 2014 following a construction period that began with a foundation ceremony attended by Prime Minister Stephen Harper in 2010.

The prayer hall walls display Canadian maple paneling with stylized Kufic calligraphy, merging Islamic artistic traditions with North American materials.

The center occupies a 17-acre site along Wynford Drive, sharing its grounds with the Aga Khan Museum and formal gardens designed by Vladimir Djurovic.

A specially designed screen made of steel ribbons divides the anteroom from the prayer hall, creating patterns that encourage spiritual contemplation.
