Although you might have fewer classes in these buildings, you may find yourselves in one of them for design team work or summer research.
Find the Haultain Building (HA) on a map of U of T.
The Haultain Building is located in an alley between the Mechanical Engineering Building (MC) and the Lassonde Mining Building (MB). You may have some tutorials in this building. HA also houses the U of T Formula Racing Team (UTFR) and their workshop.
Find the Lash Miller Chemical Laboratories (LM) on a map of U of T.
The Lash Miller Chemical Laboratories houses the Department of Chemistry. You may have some physics-related lectures in this building. Fun fact: LM is currently undergoing a huge expansion for the new home of the Acceleration Consortium, which is a global network for materials discovery doing research in materials science, artificial intelligence, robotics, and quantum chemistry.
Find the Lassonde Mining Building (MB) on a map of U of T.
The Lassonde Mining Building houses the Lassonde Institute of Mining. You will most likely have calculus lectures in this building, in the iconic old-school MB128 lecture hall, in addition to some labs in your later years. The hallway outside this room is home to the Canadian Mining Hall of Fame, which contains long display cases which showcase various Canadians that contributed to the mining industry, such as Joseph Tyrell and Pierre Lassonde.
Find the McLennan Physical Laboratories (MP) on a map of U of T.
The McLennan Physical Laboratories houses the Department of Physics. Since EngSci has so many physics-related classes, you’ll have many lectures and labs in this building. In first year, you might have CIV102, calculus, and PHY180 lectures, as well as PHY180 labs labs/tutorials, in MP. The entrance to MP from St. George Street is a long, canopied walkway, which looks great all year round.
Find the Medical Sciences Building (MS) on a map of U of T.
The enormous Medical Sciences Building (AKA MedSci) houses the Temerty Faculty of Medicine. It is located close to the engineering buildings. You might have a lecture or exam in MS, but most importantly, MS is home to the Medical Sciences Cafeteria, a popular lunch spot with a variety of food options. To learn more, read our post on Where to Eat.
Find the Wallberg Memorial Building (WB) on a map of U of T.
The Wallberg Building houses the Department of Chemical Engineering & Applied Chemistry (ChemE) and the Department of Material Science & Engineering (MSE). As an EngSci, you might have the occasional lecture, tutorial, or lab in WB. Some professors, such as Professor Chan from ESC103, have their offices here, so you might come to WB for office hours as well.
Find UTIAS on Google Maps here.
Composed of multiple buildings, the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies (UTIAS) is located 17 km from campus in North York*. It houses world-renowned labs in aerodynamics, propulsion, aircraft flight, structures, space systems, physics, robotics, and artificial intelligence. EngSci Aerospace students might have one or two upper-year classes here. If you’re involved with the University of Toronto Aerospace Team (UTAT) or aUToronto, you will likely have regular team meetings here. Furthermore, many professors from your first-year courses like Professor Stangeby from ESC194, Professor Davis from ESC194 and ESC195, and Professor Seiler from MAT185 are affiliated with UTIAS, so they will have a main office at UTIAS in addition to a smaller office somewhere on the St George campus.
*You could say that UTIAS is a “satellite campus”!! Get it??
