Labs and Simulation Spaces
Photography Studio
The Photography Studio at Mohawk College’s Fennell Campus provides students with a professional space to develop their photography and visual storytelling skills. Equipped with studio lighting, backdrops, camera equipment, and editing workstations, the studio supports hands-on learning in portrait, product, and commercial photography, helping students build practical experience and creative confidence.
Physics and Metrology Lab
A precision measurement facility. Students use Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM) and laser tools to learn "Quality Assessment and Control" protocols to ensure manufactured parts meet exact industrial tolerances.
Power Systems Lab
Focuses on high-voltage generation and distribution. Students work with transformers, 3-phase motors, and protection relays (like SEL and Siemens) used by hydro utilities.
Social Justice Gym
This gymnasium is a specialized learning space reserved exclusively for Social Justice programs, supporting hands-on, movement-based training tied to the curriculum. It is used for physical conditioning, self-defence, scenario-based exercises, and team-building activities that help students develop confidence, situational awareness and practical skills relevant to their field. The space reinforces experiential learning by allowing students to apply theory in a controlled, supportive environment.
Sustainable Design Lab
The Sustainable Design Lab at Mohawk College’s Fennell Campus provides students with a collaborative space to explore environmentally responsible design solutions. Through hands-on projects, students apply sustainable design principles, innovative technologies, and creative problem-solving to develop products, spaces, and systems that support a more sustainable future.
Technology Automation Lab
The hub for Industry 4.0. It features PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), sensors, and actuators. Students learn to program automated assembly lines and integrate robotic arms.
The Agency
The Agency at Mohawk College is a student-powered creative studio where learners collaborate with real clients on marketing, design, digital media, and communications projects. Guided by industry experts, students gain hands-on experience in an enterprising, fast-paced environment that mirrors a professional agency. It's a space where talent, creativity, and industry-driven learning come together.
Use of Force Lab
The Use of Force Lab is a controlled, hands-on training space where students develop practical skills related to safety, control and appropriate response techniques. Through guided, scenario-based learning, students practice physical tactics, communication and decision-making in situations that reflect real-world challenges. The lab supports experiential learning by emphasizing professionalism, risk assessment and the responsible application of force within a structured and supervised environment.
WiFi - Network & Hardware Lab
The WiFi – Network & Hardware Lab gives students practical experience with computer networks and IT hardware. Students learn to install, configure, and troubleshoot networking equipment, wireless systems, and computer components. Hands-on activities build the technical skills needed to support and maintain modern networked environments.
