Labs and Simulation Spaces

This Pharmacy Lab mirrors the workflow of a real pharmacy environment, giving students space to learn medication preparation, organization and dispensing processes. With secure storage areas, dedicated workstations and tools used in professional practice, learners can build accuracy, confidence and strong foundational skills for their future clinical placements.

The Pharmacy Sterile Products Lab provides students with a space to learn and practice essential skills used in pharmaceutical manufacturing and hospital settings. With specialized workstations and devices that support safe medication preparation, this lab helps learners build confidence, accuracy and professionalism before entering clinical placements. The sterile products lab is where students learn to prepare items that require a sterile environment, including IVs, syringes, chemotherapy drugs, and certain compounds.

This shop is committed to nurturing the next generation of skilled plumbers, providing them with the tools, knowledge, and experience they need to build successful and fulfilling careers in this essential trade. Our facility is designed to provide hands-on education and practical experience for aspiring and apprentice plumbers.

Pneumatics and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) form a core function of the automated process within manufacturing. Students learn the application of relay logic and basic PLC programming, utilizing handheld units on multi-cylinder trainers, simulating a typical industrial application to automate a production process. They learn how to develop basic pneumatic schematics using standard ISO symbols, and assemble and troubleshoot the circuits using the schematics.

Power Engineers are responsible for the operation and maintenance of steam generation and refrigeration equipment across a diverse range of industries. These industries include steel and pulp mills, power generation, food production, healthcare institutions, oil and gas production, breweries and chemical manufacturing. Their expertise ensures the efficient and safe functioning of critical systems that support these vital sectors.

A piston engine, also known as a reciprocating engine, uses heat from one or more reciprocating pistons to convert pressure into a rotating motion. This rotating motion turns the aircraft's propeller, allowing for flight.

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.
