Medan, HUMAS USU – The Rector of Universitas Sumatera Utara, Muryanto Amin, officially inaugurated the renovated musalla of the Faculty of Law (FH USU) on Monday (May 4, 2026). The renovation is part of efforts to enhance worship facilities while also supporting student activities.

In his remarks, Prof. Muryanto expressed appreciation for the support of alumni and donors, emphasizing that the facility now serves broader functions. “This musalla is not only a place of worship but also a space for character building and academic development for students,” he stated.

Dean of FH USU, Mahmul Siregar, noted that the facility holds historical value as a hub for student activities, although it had been neglected during the COVID-19 pandemic. “This place used to be vibrant as a center for student activities but became underutilized during the pandemic. This renovation is an effort to revive its function,” he explained.

He further added that the renovation was initiated by alumni across generations by reallocating reunion funds. “We hope this musalla can once again serve as a place of worship as well as a space for student discussions and interaction,” he said.

Chair of the organizing committee, Hasim Purba, stated that the reconstruction of the building—originally established between 1979 and 1980—has now been completed with a more representative design.

“This building is designed with two floors to accommodate both worship and academic activities,” he explained. The first floor is designated for prayer with a capacity of over 100 worshippers, while the second floor can accommodate around 200 people for discussions, religious studies, and lectures.

“Moving forward, this space will become an integrated center for academic, social, and religious activities,” he added.

Meanwhile, Chairman of the FH USU Alumni Association (IKA FH USU), Hasrul Benny Harahap, described the renovation as a reflection of the strong sense of solidarity within the FH USU community. “This is not just a physical development, but also a symbol of togetherness and alumni’s commitment to the campus,” he concluded.
