Shortly after being renamed the Assay Building, what would become the Hattie Redmond Women and Gender Center was renamed again, this time as the Mining Building. Laboratories in assaying, "ore dressing," and ceramics were located on the lower floor of the building, while the campus's Geological Museum occupied the upper floor. As a central campus location, just south of what was then the Administration building (Community Hall), the Mining building was also frequently used as a polling place for campus elections in the early part of the 20th century.

In 1912, work on a new Mining building - located just east of Shepard Hall (roughly where Gleeson Hall is today) - began. Upon completion of that building, and the subsequent shift of personnel and equipment, the Mining building was converted again, this time as the Health Service building.
