Sanford Fleming Building - 10 King's College Road
For many years this was the McLennan Laboartories
"the most fully equipped physical laboratory on the continent" and named after John McLennan, distinguished U of T
professor and discoverer of cosmic rays. When the physics department moved in 1967, the building was taken over by the
Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering.
Sir Sanford Fleming arrived in Canada in 1845 at the age of 18. He surveyed Canada from Ottawa to the shores of the
Pacific and created the worldwide system of Standard Time. Fleming became the chief engineer of the Intercolonial Railway
which linked central Canada with the Maritimes, and was an early advocate of professionalism in engineering. Darling and
