Mackay School of Earth Sciences and Engineering, Earth sciences educational facility at University of Nevada, Reno, US

The Mackay School is a building at the University of Nevada, Reno, designed in Classical style with Georgian Colonial features. It houses three academic departments dedicated to earth sciences and four public service divisions that support research and education.

In June 1908, Marie Louise Mackay and her son Clarence presented the Mackay School of Mines building to the University of Nevada as a memorial to John Mackay. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

The W.M. Keck Museum displays collections related to Nevada mining heritage, geological samples, and silver artifacts from the Mackay family. These exhibits reflect the importance of mining in shaping the state's identity and economy.

Visitors can explore specialized research facilities on site, including the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology, the Nevada Seismological Laboratory, and the Nevada State Climate Office. These divisions support both educational programs and public scientific inquiry.

The bronze figure of John Mackay in front of the building was made by Gutzon Borglum, the sculptor later responsible for the Mount Rushmore carvings. The statue was placed there with the building, which Marie Louise and Clarence Mackay gave to the university in June 1908 as a memorial to John Mackay.
