Labs and Simulation Spaces

C232 is a specialized lab space designed as a fully functional Emergency Operations Centre (EOC). This immersive learning environment replicates the structure and operations of a real-world emergency management centre, providing students with hands-on experience in incident response, crisis coordination, and strategic decision-making.

The Energy and Power Management Lab gives students hands-on experience with electrical energy systems, renewable power technologies, and smart energy management. The lab supports learning in power generation, distribution, substations, microgrids, and energy conservation using industry-standard equipment and real-world systems. Students gain practical skills that prepare them for careers in hydro utilities, renewable energy and electrical power engineering.

The FANUC Robotics Lab provides hands-on training with industry-standard industrial robots used in modern manufacturing and automation. Students learn robotic programming, operation, and safety while working on real-world applications such as material handling and automated processes. The lab builds practical skills needed for careers in robotics, automation, and advanced manufacturing.

Prepare for a career in the rapidly growing game design industry. Develop the design, technical and artistic skills used in game production, and examine ethical questions about content creation and workplace interactions.

This 25,000 square foot lab opens directly onto the air side of the Hamilton International Airport. Together with planes kept on the airport apron, Mohawk College has a fleet of aircraft comprised of helicopters, small prop planes, corporate jets and a commercial passenger jet.

The variety of aircraft ensure students from all three aviation technician programs—Aircraft Maintenance, Aircraft Structures and Avionics Maintenance—gain experience on the types of aircraft they will encounter after graduation.

The Materials Development and Characterization Lab provides students with hands-on experience analyzing and testing material properties. The lab supports learning in material selection, development, and performance evaluation using industry-standard equipment. Through applied experiments and data analysis, students build practical skills in quality control, research, and materials innovation.

Aligned with the Mechanical Engineering Technology program (the only one in Canada certified by the Foundry Educational Foundation). Students study metal casting, heat treatment, and material grain structures using mounting presses and microscopes.

The Medic Lab is part of the mHealth and eHealth Development and Innovation Centre. Mohawk students and researchers work with industry and government partners to build software applications that provide healthcare practitioners access to patient data in a secure environment.

Linked to IDEAWORKS, this is a collaborative "Capstone" space. Students from different programs work together on real-world prototypes and applied research projects for local industry partners.
