Al-Ahad Islamic Center

The Islamic congregation Shia Ithna Asheri Jamaat of Pennsylvania (SIJPA) is building a new mosque at the Al-Ahad Islamic Center to replace the existing structure and nearly double the existing square
footage.

Isett provided survey and structural engineering design for the new Islamic Center, working alongside
Serfass Construction Company as the Construction Manager. The increasingly taller minarets are a central feature of the structural design, offering a unique and commanding design component.

The building’s tallest minaret measures 110 feet from the ground. The new building has an expanded basement and additional floors to increase space on the site, offering comprehensive services in
worship, philanthropy, education, community outreach, and civic participation.
