Chronos Clock – Hanging above the north entrance of the building is the Chronos Clock, a unique time piece created by a team of four engineering students and two arts students for their final year project. The time is read by observing the position of two rings in relation to their position to the largest outer ring, five feet in diameter. The clock is made from machined aluminum and steel. Much of the material and workmanship required to make the clock was contributed by local companies and individuals. |

Bearings Hologram Series – Hanging above the foyer of the south-east entrance of the building are four holograms. The series, titled Bearings, was created by artist Stacey Spiegel to represent now-historical devices that have been used to measure and articulate phenomena. The images selected each have a Canadian connection. Images include: camera, telescope, theodolite, and sextant. The frames for each image are given a different geometric shape as a sign of the theoretical constructs of science and knowledge. The holograms have also been displayed in the Toronto Eaton Centre and the Art Gallery of Hamilton. |

The History of Canadian Engineering – This painting hanging on the east wall of the main hallway was commissioned and donated by the Wardens of Kipling Camp 13 in Hamilton. The Corporation of the Seven Wardens is best known for administering the Iron Ring ceremony. The artist is Brett Hamilton and the medium is oil on canvas. The painting illustrates many of Canada’s engineering achievements. |

Living Legacy Showcase – Displayed in a showcase on the west wall of the main hallway are more than 100 Faculty of Engineering mementos and keepsakes donated by alumni, faculty and staff. As the name Living Legacy suggests, the collection will continue to grow as future generations donate items that hold significance to them while involved with the Faculty of Engineering. The Living Legacy Showcase is an initiative of The Young Engineering Alumni Advisory Committee undertaken to commemorate the Faculty of Engineering’s 50th anniversary in 2008. |
