The Gym & Auditorium Project

One room hosts everything we do together. Projectors & screens, real sound, seating, cooling, and live-stream cameras: five upgrades that turn MDQ’s gym into a true auditorium.

What it unlocks

Everything that brings the whole school together

Our gym is the only space that fits all 400+ students, but with no projection or screen, every gathering is harder than it should be. This project changes that for every event, all year.

School assemblies
Jumu’ah & lectures
Student presentations
Movie & game nights
Graduations & award nights
Community events
Sponsor an item

Seven items. Pick one to make yours.
