Originally called the School of Practical Science, established in 1873, this Faculty (2010) has an enrollment of over 4,000 students and a faculty of some 219. It sprawls over more than a dozen buildings on the St. George Campus including the Galbraith Building (the main administrative centre), the Sanford Fleming Building, the Wallberg Memorial Building, the Mining Building, the Haultain Building, the Rosebrugh Building, the Mechanical Engineering Building, the Bahen Centre for Information Technology, and the Terrence Donnelly Centre for Cellular and Biomolecular Research. Off campus, on the northern edge of the city, the Faculty also embraces the large Institute for Aerospace Studies facility.
