The Haultain Building (formerly the Mill Building) is located at 170 College Street, tucked behind the Mining Building and to the west of the Rosebrugh Building. It was completed in 1903 and is named after H.E.T. Haultain, Canadian inventor and professor at the School of Practical Science (as it was then known).

History

The Mill Building, as it was known when it opened, was originally constructed to house milling equipment for the School of Practical Science, particularly for experiments on mechanical processing of ores.

Structure & Architecture

The Haultain Building is built on a small foundation of approximately seventy square feet (twenty-one square meters). It is built in an Edwardian style, and made of red brick in the original facade.
