The Turkish government is building a new $100 million mosque and cultural center in Lanham, Maryland, a suburb of Washington DC to cater to the needs of the city’s large Muslim population.

Spread over 15 acres, the Turkish American Community Center will have a coffee house for 200 people, 5 gift shops, a cultural center, a 200-seat theater, an exhibition hall, a computer lab, a library, parking for 350 vehicles, a Turkish bath/Hamam, a guest house, a mosque serving 700 people, and residential development for 10 houses. The complex is expected to be complete by April 2015 and the Turkish President is expected to inaugurate the grand facility.
