Labs and Simulation Spaces

A process-oriented space where students work with unit operations such as evaporation, drying, and pilot-plant scale equipment to simulate industrial chemical manufacturing.

Room A119 — the Youth Engagement and Support Lab — is a dynamic, experiential learning space where theory comes to life. Designed to mirror real-world child and youth care environments, this interactive lab provides students with the space, tools, and materials to actively engage in hands-on learning. Within this immersive setting, faculty guide and model realistic scenarios that reflect the complexities of working with children, youth, and families.

The Cisco Network & Hardware Lab gives students hands-on experience building, configuring, and troubleshooting real-world networks. Using industry-standard Cisco equipment, students learn how hardware, routing, switching, and security work together to keep systems connected and secure. This applied learning environment helps students develop practical skills that mirror today's IT and networking workplaces.

The Clean and Renewable Energy Lab at Mohawk College’s Fennell Campus provides students with hands-on experience in sustainable energy technologies and energy management systems. Equipped with industry-relevant tools and equipment, the lab supports learning in solar power, energy generation, storage, distribution, and smart energy systems. As part of Mohawk’s commitment to sustainability and innovation, the lab helps students develop the practical skills needed to design, operate, and maintain clean energy solutions for a rapidly evolving industry.

Associated with the School of Climate Action, this space is used for modeling carbon footprints, studying sustainability concepts, and developing mitigation strategies using environmental data.

The Collaboratory is a flexible study and research space offering in person research support, bookable media tables and access to printing, copying and scanning. Students can use express PCs for quick tasks or work at any of the 33 computers available for coursework and collaboration.

A dedicated, air-gapped network environment. It allows students to simulate offensive and defensive "Red Team/Blue Team" scenarios, penetration testing, and vulnerability assessments without risking external networks.
