The '''Lassonde Mining Building''' at 170 College Street is one of the original buildings of the [[School of Practical Science]]. Completed in 1905, the Mining Building was designed by Mr. Francis Riley Heakes and Mr. Frank Darling, Chief Architects of the Public Works Department. The final cost of the building at its completion was $384,736. The building is designated as a Heritage Property for its importance as a major work of Edwardian Classicism.
The Lassonde Mineral Engineering (LME) Program is one of the so-called 'Core 8' engineering programs at the University of Toronto.  It is also one of the first,
 
Through 27 core technical courses, taught by award-winning faculty members and practicing engineers, students gain expertise in all aspects of the industry, from exploration and extraction to processing, refining, upgrading and waste management. The program includes a strong emphasis on experiential learning, including a trip to an operating mine and a nine-day field course called Geology Field Camp for Mineral Engineers subsidized by the Lassonde Fund.
In November 2011, a $20-million renovation project to convert previously unusable attic space into an interdisciplinary design studio was completed. The building was also officially renamed at that time to the "Lassonde Mining Building", for [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Lassonde Pierre Lassonde], a Canadian mining executive and donor who had close ties to the Department of Mineral Engineering.


As a result of the visionary leadership and generous philanthropy of Dr. Pierre Lassonde, the program continues to address the most pressing challenged facing the mining industry, from new technologies to extract value from low-grade ores to innovations that improve the sustainability, economics and social impact of mining.
