Labs and Simulation Spaces

This shop is a dedicated space where aspiring refrigeration and air conditioning apprentices gain hands-on experience that is linked to theory and knowledge they will use throughout their career. In this lab we train and prepare apprentices for the real-word challenges in our industry.

Gas Heat Technicians are responsible for measuring, cutting, reaming and threading steel pipes, fabricating tubing, and assembling and testing gas conveyance systems made from various materials.

Refrigeration Mechanics focus on assembling, testing, operating, troubleshooting and servicing a wide range of refrigeration systems. The expertise and hands-on experience gained in this lab extend beyond the industry, finding applications in many other fields as well.

In the Rotating Machines and Power Systems Lab students engage in connection and analysis of AC and DC generating systems, as well as motors and motor control systems. They work with single and three-phase transformers, exploring the behaviour of inductive, capacitive and resistive loads. Additionally, students analyze and address power quality issues, gaining hands-on experience in diagnosing and correcting inefficiencies within electrical systems.

In this shop students will learn everything from the fundamentals of sheet metal to advanced techniques, to ensure they are well-equipped for real-world challenges. Experience the complexities of sheet metal projects through realistic simulations that will prepare you for the demands of the job.

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.

The Sonography Simulation Lab gives students the opportunity to practice ultrasound techniques in a safe and supportive learning environment. Using specialized equipment and guided simulations, learners can build confidence, develop scanning skills and prepare for real clinical experiences.

This shop is a dynamic learning hub where future steamfitters expand their knowledge and acquire specialized training to embark on rewarding careers. Steamfitters are the engineers behind the scenes, ensuring that steam, gas, and fluid systems run smoothly, from industrial power plants to state-of-the-art HVAC systems.

The Stores lab is where students learn about inventory management and parts identification from experienced faculty.

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.
