On 22 September 2010, the Nur Islamic School of Louisville board of directors closed a deal to purchase the school's building on Six Mile Lane.[ citation needed ] The board settled on the name "Masjid At-Tawheed" for the masjid and "Guiding Light Islamic Community Center" (GLICC) for the combined school and masjid. The secondary school moved into the building over Thanksgiving break and began classes on 29 November 2010. The elementary school was scheduled to join them on 3 January 2011.
Several renovations have followed the school's purchase. A large room on the second floor was divided into three smaller rooms, new tiles were laid throughout the school, rooms were painted, and walls were torn down to increase room size.
The board stated that the school was to be renovated before the masjid, necessitated by the need to move the school from its previous location in the old Buechel Bank building. The masjid, formerly a church, continues to be renovated; the steeple has been removed from the roof, and the stage and baptism tub have been removed. An opening date for the masjid is pending.

A geographic coordinate system is a coordinate system that enables every location on Earth to be specified by a set of numbers, letters or symbols. The coordinates are often chosen such that one of the numbers represents a vertical position and two or three of the numbers represent a horizontal position; alternatively, a geographic position may be expressed in a combined three-dimensional Cartesian vector. A common choice of coordinates is latitude, longitude and elevation. To specify a location on a plane requires a map projection.
