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.

A hands‑on learning space featuring state of the art equipment such as a wall-mounted water purification system and a mini water treatment plant to support training in environmental monitoring and sustainable water systems.

The Esports Lab at Mohawk College’s Fennell Campus is a dedicated gaming and competition space equipped with high-performance gaming PCs, professional-grade peripherals, and collaborative areas for students. The lab supports competitive Esports, recreational gaming, team training, and special events, providing students with opportunities to develop teamwork, strategic thinking, communication, and digital skills in an engaging environment.

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.

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.

Room C143 is a dedicated academic fitness lab designed to support hands-on learning, standardized testing, and applied training. This dynamic space mirrors professional fitness and assessment environments, allowing students to train and evaluate performance in a structured, safe, and supportive setting. Used by students in our Justice programs for standardized physical testing and occupational readiness training, the lab also serves learners in the Health, Wellness and Fitness program.

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.

Gas Heat Technicians are responsible for operating, troubleshooting and maintaining a diverse range of natural gas and propane appliances within the gas & oil burner lab.
