Labs and Simulation Spaces

In the Building and Renovation Shop we create projects that renovators encounter during their standard work day. We keep our projects as large as possible to ensure “full scale learning” is achieved. In this shop you are required to work in groups and follow all drawings and safety regulations as set out by the professor(s).

The Canadian Institute for Non-Destructive Evaluation (CINDE) is the not-for-profit/charitable, member-based technical society dedicated to the people and companies engaged in the business of non-destructive evaluation (NDE), non-destructive testing (NDT) and inspection.

The Cardiovascular Technology lab allows students to practice clinical techniques using industry-standard equipment, software, and processes. Students learn how to connect Holter monitors, perform and evaluate ECGs, supervise exercise stress testing, and learn the basics of programming cardiac implantable devices, such as pacemakers. CVT grads are prepared for a variety of careers in hospitals, clinics, and industry!

Career Pathways lab is a welcoming multi-purpose space, designed to support both academic and social needs of students. Students can build new skills with the help of an Adaptive Technology specialist, exploring latest assistive technologies and tools. The lab is divided into two distinct sections to encourage collaboration, learning and connection. One side of the lab includes tables and chairs where students can relax, have their lunch socialize with peers, join clubs or connect with support staff in an informal and comfortable setting. 

In this shop students will gain the skills and knowledge to enter the workforce as high skilled carpenters. They will work with the most current tools, equipment and technology found within the industry to learn the importance of sustainable practices, using eco-friendly materials, and minimizing waste.

An active learning and discovery space where students build foundational skills in cell biology, as well as agriculture and food biotechnology, and faculty conduct applied research, creating a collaborative environment that bridges teaching, experimentation, and innovation.

Used for sampling, analysis, and instrumental techniques across chemistry, biotechnology, and environmental programs, featuring new HPLC units that support advanced analytical training.

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

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.
