Labs and Simulation Spaces

Focused on quantitative chemical analysis and wet chemistry techniques, equipped with two new flame photometers for measuring metal ion concentrations such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and lithium.

A foundational laboratory where students develop essential industry‑related skills in titration, pH measurement, and core wet‑chemistry techniques used across environmental, chemical, and biotechnology technician roles.

In the GM Service Training Lab students gain hands-on experience using the same tools, technology and diagnostic equipment found in modern dealerships. The lab simulates a real GM service environment, allowing learners to work on late-model vehicles, troubleshoot complex automotive systems and practice industry-standard repair procedures.

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.

This lab provides a dedicated space for learning and simulated, experiential activities for students in the Recreation Therapy program.

The Centre for Healthcare Simulation and Research offers immersive spaces where students can learn and practice real world clinical skills. The area includes acute care rooms, apartment and clinic style environments, flexible VR and in-person simulation spaces, and dedicated debrief rooms. With high fidelity manikins and advanced audio visual recording, students can experience realistic scenarios, reflect on their performance and build confidence for practice.

Gas Heat and Oil Heat Technicians are trained to build, test, troubleshoot and operate electrical control circuits designed to ensure the safe and efficient operation of fuel-powered heating systems. The skills developed in this lab are not only applicable to other lab settings but also directly relevant to real-world applications in the industry.

This lab introduces the principles of industrial hydraulics, including the design and application of power units, pumps, motors, conductors and fluids. Utilizing fluid power equipment, our students have the opportunity to do lab experiments with typical valving and accessories found in industry today. With a variety of applications, hydraulic systems are used in all kinds of large and small industrial settings, as well as buildings, construction equipment, and vehicles.

The Hydro One Lab provides students with hands-on experience working with electrical systems and equipment used in the power industry. In this applied learning space, students practice safe procedures, system testing, and troubleshooting while gaining insight into how electrical power is generated, distributed, and maintained. The lab supports skill development aligned with real-world utility and electrical careers.
