The most important thing you need to know is that no Masjid (the real name for a mosque) in the West operates as the Masajid (plural for masjid/mosque) in Muslim countries. In Muslim countries, the Masjid is just a place for prayers and little more. In the West Masajid are not just religious buildings, but educational buildings, sports buildings and community centers.
What you'll find as a given in every Masjid, is the area called "Musallah". The Musallah is an area of the building that is segregated exclusively for the prayers. Nothing else should happen at the Musallah. And it is the existence of this area that distinguishes a "Masjid" from an "Islamic center". If, for whichever reason, the building or location do not have a "Musallah", then it is not a Masjid; it is just an Islamic center.
The Musallah is an empty space, without any type of furniture. More often than not, it will have very padded carpets and a very noticeable area at the front of the congregation, called the "mimbar". The mimbar may be identified by a special rug different from the rest of the carpet; by a rug hanging from the wall; by some Arabic writting on that segment of the wall; or by a wooden structure with few steps and a platform that is used, during the worshipping service on Fridays, by the person called the "Khatib". The Khatib is in charge of giving the "Khutbah" or sermon at the first part of the service. By the way, the service should not last more than 20 or 30 minutes.
