The Mechanical Engineering Building (a.k.a. MC) is home to the Department of Mechanical & Industrial Engineering (MIE). Initially constructed to accommodate the expanding needs of MIE, this building has undergone several renovations and expansions to keep pace with technological advancements and the growing student body.
Notable Classrooms
MC102 Lecture Hall
The Mechanical Engineering Building houses several key lecture halls. Noteworthy among these is MC102, which is one of the most spacious lecture halls you’ll see in your first year. In your first year, you may have MSE160 lectures in this room. Like MY150 in the Myhal Centre, MC102 can usually accommodate both cohorts of EngSci students, giving you a chance to meet with the other half of your peers that you may not see very often! Some other lecture halls that you may use in your 2nd year include MC252 and MC254 on the second floor.
Thermodynamics Lab
You will have some of your second-year labs (such as for CHE260) in their lab spaces.
Study Spaces
There are multiple round tables and chairs near the labs on the second floor of MC. You can also find continuous tables and chairs on the third floor.
Nearby Food Spots
While the Mechanical Engineering Building does not have dedicated dining facilities within it, you can easily access several nearby food spots. The nearby Sandford Fleming building is home to the Hard Hat Cafe and Veda. You can also visit the MedSci cafeteria, which is close by. Several restaurants on College Street are also minutes away.
Notable Facilities & Institutes
The offices of many faculty members and professors in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering are in this building. The department’s main office is room 105.
There is a Machine Shop at MC 78, on the lower level of the Mechanical Engineering building. This shop is fully equipped with milling machines, lathes, laser cutters, and other essential tools. You can use this shop for design consultation, machining, and assembling prototypes. Note that you can only gain access to the shop after you have completed the access/training requirements.
