The opening as it read in 2015
Park51 (originally named Cordoba House ) was a planned 13-story Islamic community center in Lower Manhattan .1The majority of the center was set aside for the general public to promote interfaith dialogue . Plans for the center included a Muslim prayer space which, due to its location two blocks from the World Trade Center site , has controversially been referred to as the "Ground Zero mosque", though numerous commentators disputed that characterization. As of August 2014 , the owner proposes to build a three-story museum instead of the original 13-story center.2Park51 would have replaced an existing 1850s building of Italianate style that was damaged in the September 11 attacks .3The design included a 500-seat auditorium, theater, a performing arts center , a fitness center , a swimming pool, a basketball court, a childcare area, a bookstore, a culinary school , an art studio, a food court, and a memorial to the victims of the September 11 attacks.4It included a prayer space for the Muslim community to accommodate 1,000–2,000 people.5Park51 was designed by the Principal of SOMA, Michel Abboud , who wrestled for months with a key problem to make the building fit naturally into its surrounds in lower Manhattan: on the one hand, it should have a contemporary design, and, at the same time, it should look Islamic.6 In late September 2011, a temporary 4,000-square-foot (370 m ) Islamic center opened in renovated space at the Park51 location. In summer 2014, it was announced that there will instead be a 3-story museum with a prayer space, as well as condos, at 49-51 Park Place.7 "Imam building Islamic center near Ground Zero urges worshipers to fight against backlash with peace" .
