The mosque's foundation was laid by then governor of West Pakistan, Sardar Abdur Rab Nishtar, in 1950. [2] The mosque, modeled after Lahore's historic Badshahi Masjid, features a main hall measuring 120 by 67 feet. [2]
In 2011, during renovation a dome collapsed which led the Government of Punjab to label the entire college and remaining five domes as hazardous.
