Labs and Simulation Spaces

The Library offers in-person research support, reservable study rooms and a quiet study pod for focused work. Students can borrow books, paperbacks and calculators, use any of the 18 computers available for study and coursework.

General Machinists cut, shape and finish metal to produce precision machined parts and components used in all areas of manufacturing. Our students interpret engineering drawings (blueprints) and work process documents to set up machine lathes and mills to create precision machined parts and components. This process is carried out in tandem with measuring or inspecting work-in-progress using specialized precision tools and equipment

The Medical Imaging Suite gives students hands-on experience with the technology used every day in modern healthcare. This area includes multiple X-ray rooms and a CT scanner, allowing learners to practice real imaging techniques and build confidence in a safe, simulated clinical environment.

This is our Varian Acuity Simulator IX room, where students simulate real world practices in the area of radiation therapy.

In the Monitoring and Communications Lab students receive training on the installation and maintenance of various systems, including fire alarm systems, emergency nurse call equipment, access control, industrial and residential security systems, as well as home automation technologies. This hands-on education prepares students to meet the diverse needs of modern electrical systems and enhances their expertise in ensuring safety and efficiency in various environments.

Our MRI Facility is equipped with a SIGNA™ Premier 3.0T from GE Healthcare and supportive resources. This machine is a beneficial and robust resource enabling advancements in imaging for various initiatives, educational delivery, clinical care and research projects.

The Centre for Integrated and Advanced Medical Imaging (CIAMI) gives students hands on access to our state of the art MRI system, opening the door to cutting edge learning and real world research opportunities. From exploring the brain to advanced cardiac and breast imaging, this space lets students experience the same technology used in leading hospitals.

Oil Heat Technicians specialize in the operating, troubleshooting and servicing of a variety oil-fired appliances within our oil lab. They are dedicated to restoring and maintaining equipment to ensure optimal efficiency and safe operating conditions. This hands-on experience equips technicians with the skills necessary to excel in the oil heating industry.

In a manufacturing plant, the effective control of devices, motors and processes is essential for ensuring the continuous movement of materials and the production of high-quality products. Our students gain hands-on experience with motor controls utilizing programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and focus on the collection, management, display and application of machine data. This training is crucial for developing the skills needed to optimize manufacturing operations and improve overall efficiency.
